I wish the author had her play something a bit more difficult (really not trying to humble brag, it would take me a while to learn this for sure). Among the etudes, this is one of the easier ones. It's probably one of the five easiest Chopin etudes (Op. 10 No.6, Op. 10 No. 9, Op. 10 No. 12 (this one), Op. 25 No. 2, Op. 25 No. 7 come to mind).here's the piece for the curious among you:
i haven't played much piano in a while, and i haven't played an etude in ages (like 5 or 6 years at least). i don't think I'll be able to play this one very easily (especially since i have yet to properly memorise the F clef despite having been playing since i was 5 lmao).I wish the author had her play something a bit more difficult (really not trying to humble brag, it would take me a while to learn this for sure).

I feel like Op. 10 No. 1 would have been the most fitting for the scene. Easily (?) the most difficult technique of all the etudes and it matches the vibe of the song Ri-chan played.
She also could have busted out the coda from Liszt/Mozart Don Juan. I think the author picked it because it's one of the more recognizable etudes and Chopin is very popular in Japan.
It's not easy by any means. Almost all of the Chopin etudes, with the exception of one or two, are where you begin to break into virtuoso piano pieces. Op 10. No. 1, Op. 25 No. 6, and Op. 25 No. 11 are some of the most difficult pieces in common repertoire. I say this one is easier because the technique involved is a bit more simple. The figure on the left hand repeats itself a lot and fits really easily under the hand. The right hand is mostly octaves. The seemingly large jumps in the left hand are also octaves as well, so it's quite easy to remember. It's definitely on the difficult side of the easier etudes, but I think it's quite manageable for anyone with a good amount of experience under their belt.i haven't played much piano in a while, and i haven't played an etude in ages (like 5 or 6 years at least). i don't think I'll be able to play this one very easily (especially since i have yet to properly memorise the F clef despite having been playing since i was 5 lmao).
"I haven't even started yet" energy is strong in this one.First, let's start from the basics
