How to Succeed in Chopin by Really Trying

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Robin Ray and John Lill discuss, with examples, the problems set by Chopin's notoriously difficult and finely written Etudes, the ultimate in piano exercises.
Why did he write them, why are they so demanding technically and artistically, and why are they supreme in their field?
The programme includes a performance by JOHN LILL of a selection of the Etudes.
