Which Chopin Etude is this?

krugie, Welcome to A2K. I didn't see that movie, but I'm going to take a guess. Fantasy Impromptu. (lyrics set to the classic were, "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows")

Hi Letty,

Thanks for the welcome and the reply. I have downloaded Fantasy Impromptu but it is not the one I was looking for. The piece is quite well known - even for me who are by no means an expert. Somehow I just can't manage to trace it .

I have tracked it down - Etude in E, Op 10, No 3.

Thanks for trying to help.

Wow! Great, Krugie. Does it have a name other than etude? I'd like to know myself, my friend

Letty- This is it:

That theme was also used in the movie, "Magnificent Obsession", with Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman.

Oh, my Gawd, Phoenix. Thank you; thank you. "No Greater Love". So many of Chopin's etudes were popularized by putting lyrics to them. I love that etude.
