The Etude is a study composed for scholars to improve their musical skills. In this one, Kabalevsky wanted to develop speed, which involves finger technique. The semiquavers must be always played evenly and clearly, and the two hands precisely combined together. The dynamics and pedalling suggest a specific effect, like a wave that comes back and forward in each bar. The minor tone makes us feel a bit uncomfortable, angry, as if something is not quite right; the tension increases until the last three chords, which appear as the grand finale of a long ascending scale.

I hope this video helps you find your own interpretation of the music and make your performance unique! And get a distinction in your next ABRSM piano exam. :-)
