Chopin | Etude Op 25 No 2 | Played in 24 keys (Updated!)

👀 Did You Catch It Last Time?

In my previous performance, I hid a subtle twist: every time the video displayed a key, the music was actually played a perfect fourth lower. So when the screen said C major, what you truly heard was G major. Some sharp-eared listeners spotted the trick immediately, while others enjoyed the piece without noticing.

Did you catch it? Let me know in the comments—I’m curious how many of you noticed the deliberate mistake!
