2. Études op. 25, No. 2 in F minor
Fast and frenetic, it's no wonder this buzzing étude is known as 'The Bees'. Although it's pretty speedy, it's not the pace of the music that causes the most difficulties for pianists; the rhythm of the left and right hands work against each other in a complex pattern, creating a web-like effect.
