Product Description

Étude Op. 10, No. 3, in E major, is a study for solo piano composed by Frédéric Chopin in 1832. It was first published in 1833 in France,Germany,and England as the third piece of his Études Op. 10.
This is a slow cantabile study for polyphonic and expressive legato playing. In fact, Chopin himself believed the melody of the piece to be the most beautiful one he ever composed. It became famous through numerous popular arrangements.

Although this étude is sometimes identified by the names "Tristesse" (Sadness) or "Farewell (L'Adieu)", neither is a name given by Chopin, but rather his critics.

Arranged wind quintet.
I have transposed it from E major to F major to aid the players.

It is NOT the complete study, rather it is of the opening theme, a small selection from the development and the reprise of the theme.
The melody is taken mainly by the oboe and flute, the clarinet takes the broken arpeggios, the bassoon the bass line, and the horn adds sustaining notes.

Check out my other Chopin arrangements of some of his Preludes (including "Raindrop") and of Nocturne No.2.
