Even Glenn Gould played this piece.

Can you send me his recording of this piece? Gould plays Chopin very differently.

Could you continue your technical analysis of the etudes?

At first, my impression of this piece:

1. Gee, it doesn't sound that hard.
2. Sounds like Bach.

After seeing a video of it:

1. AHHH!!
2. What is she doing??  The chromatic notes are both fast and played with 4 and 5?!?
3. It is definitely Chopin.
4. It is definitely an ETUDE!!

I guess you should never judge a book by its cover!  [or a piece by its sound]...
