Étude Op. 25, No. 9 (Chopin)
- Étude Op. 25, No. 9 (Chopin)
Étude Op. 25, No. 9 in G-flat major "Butterfly" is an étude by Frederic Chopin. It is a study in staccato legato alternations, marked throughout the piece. The title "Butterfly" was not given by Chopin (as is true for all Chopin pieces with such titles); however Arthur Friedheim said, "while some titles were superfluous, this one is inadequate." [Arthur Friedheim's description of the pieces in his edition of the works (Schirmer)] The étude is a favourite among jazz pianists and is often played with a very jazzy or swing feel.

*This piece was played in the film "The Prestige" when the character Robert Angier prepares for his bird cage trick. It is listed as "Butterfly Etude" in the credits.
