: id like opinions from people that actually have played this etude or, at least have tried playin it..but thanx for commentin neway..i thought this
: board was dead..

If you donīt play the piano for some days you can train your little finger by stretching it to the side and bend it. If you can feel the muscles get hard as if you were to crush a brick with karate, your little finger will remain strong so that you can keep it down while playing op 10 no 1.
The little finger is very important in op 10 no 1.

I donīt know if you understand my english. Iīm from Denmark so I think we would understand swedish both of us.

regards
Franz
