OP xxmynameisjohnxx 500 Post Club Member X Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 625 San Diego	So as I was doing my first slow play through of the piece today, I started to wonder...since the entire piece is written in octaves....has anyone ever been crazy enough to tray to play the whole thing with one hand? Or better yet, double it and have both hands in octaves playing the same melody? I've heard of guys who have played the revolutionary etude left hand in octaves...I'd imagine this would be a feat of similar difficulty if not harder...has anyone ever heard of someone trying to do this? I know it's a silly, entirely unimportant question...but I think it'd be freaking awesome if someone could do this. Chopin: Nocturne No. 15 in Fm. Op. 55 no.1.
