context_page_description: Étude Op. 10, No. 3, in E major, is a study for solo piano composed by Frédéric Chopin in 1832. It was first published in 1833 in France, Germany, and England as the third piece of his Études Op. 10. This is a slow cantabile study for polyphonic and legato playing. Chopin himself believed the melody to be his most beautiful one. It became famous through numerous popular arrangements. Although this étude is sometimes identified by the names "Tristesse" or "Farewell", neither is a name given by Chopin, but rather his critics.
context_section_description: Leopold Godowsky's version for the left hand alone in his Studies on Chopin's Études is a "rather faithful transformation... creating the illusion of two-hand writing". It is transposed to D flat major.
  Transcriptions for voice with a relative adaptation of words already existed in Chopin's time. When he was in London in 1837[? according to Wikipedia's article, Malibran died in 1836], he heard Maria Malibran sing one of these "adaptations" and pronounced himself extremely pleased.
  This étude, or at least its last section, was orchestrated in 1943 or 1944 in Birkenau by Alma Rosé for a highly peculiar lineup of the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz to be performed in secret for the band's members and trusted inmates, as music by Polish composers was strictly forbidden.
