The Chopin Etude Opus 25.
As I remarked before, an Etude is supposed to be a practise piece - something designed to perfect a particular skill.
I always marvel at the irony of Chopin labeling some of the most astonishing and passionate of music as 'Etudes'. Maybe it is a reflection of the understatement prevalent at the time. Maybe Chopin was just poking fun at the world, and at himself.

Perhaps it is only my problem, but some Youtube stuff don't want to play via the forum set-up. Here is the link (I hope to the right version).
