This is his last notable work, is a cornerstone of the solo cello repertoire. Elgar composed it in the aftermath of the First World War, when his music had already gone out of fashion with the concert-going public. |

Étude in E minor, op. 25 no. 5 | Frédéric Chopin (1810 - 1849) |
|
Jay Brendan Del Rosario, Piano |
Commonly known as the "Wrong Note" étude, this study tests a pianist's flexibility across a variety of chord shapes while simultaneously demanding a firm and controlled tone in the weak, upper fingers of the right hand. The middle section in E major features a lovely bel canto melody, reminiscent of cello writing. |

Étude in C# minor, op. 10 no. 4 | Frédéric Chopin (1810 - 1849) |
|
Jay Brendan Del Rosario, Piano |
Chopin's "Torrent" étude is a famous showpiece, demanding power and strength across extended scale figures in both hands. The fiery, chromatic nature of the writing lends itself to dramatic and brash interpretations of the music, despite this étude being little more than scales organised in a harmonically beautiful fashion. |
