The complete piano Étude in F minor, Op. 25, №2 “The Bees” by Frédéric Chopin.
The Étude in F minor, Op. 25, №2, is colored in subtle, pastel shades, but it is also splendidly disturbed, as two different meters—alla breve (expressed through quaver triplets) and 6/4—meet in each bar. The two meters are wonderfully attuned, though their disturbance remains audible. As if in a single breath, without respite, the right hand intones the arabesque of an unending melody, while the left discreetly counterpoints. The technical goal of the F minor Étude is the independence of the pianist’s two hands. The Étude is sometimes known as “The Bees.”
