- This is perhaps the hardest Chopin Etude of them all, certainly ranks among the top 3 in my opinion - the double thirds, Op. 25 No. 6 Etude.
But with a few movements, exercises and the right approach, you can make this Etude a lot more manageable. Includes tips, tricks as well as practice advice.

This piece is far beyond my skill level, but it was still fun to watch. Camera angles were spot on too!
2415 is insane man. I'm gobsmacked. My thumb is not long enough to reach C# without position my fingers upwards pressing the uncomfortable zone of the keys.
Can you do a video on forearm rotation? I can do it well in my left hand, but not my right that well. I don’t really know why this is (I am left handed), and it seems like such a simple concept that I am really struggling to do. Great video!
I find op 10 no 2 harder. Although I haven't played this piece in full I still had an easier time learning it than op10 no 2. Also op 25 no 12 was more challenging to play without much pedal because at such a fast tempo wrong notes happen and they stick out a lot, so for me op 25 no 12 and op 10 no 1 are just a bit below op 25 no 6 in difficulty. Great video btw (:
24-15 is more natural to the hand's physique, I think. However, by playing this way one is missing out on the chance of teaching your hand the 14-25 (the etude's actual intent) and thus creating new pathways in the the brain, and therefore on improving one's overall technique outside of this specific piece. At least that's my opinion.
This piece is the answer I get when I ask "Whats the hardest piece of Chopin? " to Google.
I am intrigued by your suggestion to play the first bars 24-15. I watched another tutorial that also suggested this fingering. I've only been playing piano for three years, so this etude is obviously way beyond my level, but I just gave it a try (I am practicing thirds currently) and it feels like my thumb is in a very awkward position (kind of collapsed under the palm) and you also need to play higher up the keys it seems. When you mention 'pulling down sensation', do you mean moving your wrist more up and down (that's how it feels, anyway when I tried it out). I found 14 -25 more natural (more a rotating movement left-right), but I guess, for advanced/professional players 24-15 position seems to be the preferred option?
What sheet music edition do you recommend for Chopin etudes?
Please listen to Kissin playing this etude.
Did you watch traum's new video where he showed evidence that his technique is legit?
