Étude Op. 10, No. 10 (Chopin)

The Étude Op. 10, No. 10 in A♭ major is the tenth piece in Frédéric Chopin's first set of Études, published in 1833. This étude is primarily focused on developing the pianist's ability to play wide chords in the right hand with evenness and sonority, while simultaneously executing a more melodic and rhythmically complex figure in the left hand. The right-hand chords, often spanning an octave or more, require significant hand independence and control. The left-hand melody frequently involves leaps and chromaticism, adding to the technical challenge.

The piece is marked Allegro and is characterized by its brilliant and dramatic character. The use of rubato is often employed to enhance the musicality of the piece. Although primarily a study in chord voicing and hand independence, Étude Op. 10, No. 10 is also regarded as a musically significant work in its own right and is frequently performed in concert.
