Étude Op. 25, No. 9 in G-flat major, known as the Butterfly étude, is an étude by Frédéric Chopin. The title Butterfly was not given by Chopin (as is true for all Chopin pieces with such titles); however Arthur Friedheim said, "while some titles were superfluous, this one is inadequate.

Incipit of the Étude Op. 25 No. 9

The composition is a study of staccato – marcato alternations, marked throughout the piece. It is the shortest of Chopin's études; it lasts under a minute played at the indicated tempo. The melody is created by playing a detached octave, then two non-detached octaves. This makes a four-note group, the structure of which is used during the whole piece to convey the melody. This structure of rapid octaves can pose a challenge to the less technically experienced. Another difficulty is in the constant switching of solid octaves to detached octaves. It is much more straightforward to simply play one or the other for the whole piece.

Performer:György Cziffra.This may not sound like butterflies, but Chopin did not name any of his works,  he did not like to name , so other masters named them.Maybe he did not write this for butterflies.

Bonjour cher maître... À propos de Georges Cziffra... Serait-il votre reincarnation ? Beaucoup y croient... De mon point de vue, il n'est comparable à aucun autre. Le roi des nuances, de la poésie... il est unique et beaucoup ne comprennent pas son art. Êtes vous fiers de l'avoir comme "descendant" ? Oh bien sûr, il n'a pas joué que votre œuvre... son jeu unique et parfaitement balancé se prête aussi tellement bien à Chopin, Beethoven et tant d'autres... il peut être si subtil et délicat. Mais j'imagine que ses prouesses phénoménales se rapprochent beaucoup des vôtres !

Bon après-midi.

Je ne crois pas à la réincarnation de l'âme.

Cziffra est Hongrois, et en cela il me ressemble beaucoup. C'était un grand musicien, même sans compter son lien avec mon travail. Ma seule vraie descendante, musikalische Tochter, était Sophie Menter. J'ai toujours évité qu'ils - mes élèves - m'écoutent pour qu'ils ne m'imitent pas, même sans le vouloir. Mon lien avec eux est un lien paternel - pas de ressemblance ou d'ascendance.

Mais oui. Ma musique triomphe quand György Cziffra, Jenő Jandó, Claudio Arrau la jouent…
