Today is Day 3 of the Chopin Piano Series.
Day 15's piece is Chopin's Etude in E major, Op. 10, No. 3 performed by Freddy Kempf (one of my very favorite pianists--look at his bio on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddy_Kempf)

Chopin's Etude in E major Op. 10, No. 3 is one of two slower etudes in the Op. 10 set (the other being No. 6 in E flat minor). No. 3 is a study of singing melody with supportive accompaniment. It requires a very even legato touch. The second theme is a lilting happy theme which turns into a stormy cadenza and then back to the beautiful E major theme. I see this etude as Love--the Love that God has for us because he gave up his only son Jesus so that we could be forgiven.
