Summary/Abstract: In the Romantic era, we find various types, as well as the most prominent examples, of piano études, which were used in both the private and public spheres in the 19th century. Although composers worked on perfecting this genre as early as the 18th century, it reached its peak during musical romanticism, when a large number of composers from various European musical circles devoted themselves to writing these instructive pieces. This article addresses the problem of the musical texture of selected studies by Frédéric Chopin, which are considered the first, and paradigmatic, concert études in piano literature.
