Étude Op. 10, No. 6, in E♭ minor, is a study for solo piano composed by Frédéric Chopin in 1830. It was first published in 1833 in France, Germany, and England as the sixth piece of his Études, Op. 10. It has a tense, concentrated texture, with the top melody moving much slower than the inner voices. Italian composer and editor Alfredo Casella (1883–1947) speaks of "meditated grief" and thinks "it is difficult to conceive an elegy more severe and sober than this study." French pianist Alfred Cortot (1877–1962) on the other hand calls the character of this study "feverish and concentrated" and insists that "below the passionate lament of the upper voice we must hear a vital lower part uniting with it [yet] preserving its own timbre and its own freedom of rhythm."
