After his victory at the 18th Chopin Competition in October 2021, the young pianist Bruce Liu has given one concert after another. This is a part from his debut in France at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, where he devoted his concert to Chopin. Étude Op. 10, No. 5, the so-called "Black Key Étude" for solo piano . It is one of the most popular etudes by Frédéric Chopin. The piece is known as the "Black Key Étude" as its right-hand part is entirely on black keys, except for one note. Bruce plays the étude full of Polish elegance with real gaiety and wit, though not without tenderness.
