Hello,

I am currently on a quest to learn Chopin’s etudes. I know there is a path full of pain ahead of me, but I want to do it for the challenge nonetheless. For my first target I picked the “Wrong Note” etude because I really dig the dissonant character (even though I’m aware it’s not the easiest of the etudes)

I quickly noticed that the most important aspect is to keep the high notes in the right hand clean and bright so they kinda lay on top of the dissonant seconds. Is there any specific technique, or do you have any tips on how to play this properly? Or is this just completely wrong and I shouldn’t worry about it and just push through it?

Note: No, for me the tenths in the left hand aren’t the biggest problem. I’ve read this a couple times on different forums and I don’t have that problem at all, I find the left hand to be the easiest part of the entire etude
