I've played. Op. 10 No. 12, Op. 25 No. 12, and am working on Op. 10 No. 04 and Op. 25 No. 11.
I believe Op. 10 No. 02 is the hardest

He didn't break between op25 11 and 12, but just went straight into no 12... That was a really good effect. Never heard it before...

Originally posted by Rick: Blaude: I can't believe you mentioned that album. I was perusing a Glen Ellyn Illinois store shortly before Christmas. It was an antique store, and they had some LP's. I noticed there were a lot of classical LP's, so I flipped thru them. I came across this Chopin Etudes album of which you speak. At least I think it's the same name. Recorded in 1967 or so? He's an American I think. Does that sound right? Anyway, I bought the album (for 50 cents!), and it did sound good - the ones I listened too anyway. But I didn't rip it yet, since I figured I had enough mp3's already of this stuff. Maybe I should. I never dreamed anyone else had ever heard of this guy. [/b] I've talked to a few people who also swear by his Chopin etudes. The recording was first introduced to me by my old piano teacher in high school. I don't know much about Anievas, but I think he's more dedicated to teaching than performing (not sure where he teaches). He also has a recording of the Rach concertos out. MMSGA: That concert must have been amazing! I've always wondered what it would be like to witness all of the Chopin etudes live in the same recital performed by one person, let alone Anievas!
