Are you sick of everyone playing 'Flight of the Bumblebee'? Do something different by tackling this challenging adaptation of Chopin's Etude in A Minor. This adaptation includes two piano accompaniments. One is fairly easy, the other, which incorporates a theme from Leopold Godowsky's adaptation, is fiendishly difficult in sections. Accompanists, you have been warned! The two examples below demonstrate the difference between the two accompaniments.
