    The only reason I ever wanted to originally learn 

    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scherzo_No._2_(Chopin)">this piece</a> was so 

    that I could play the sweet arpeggios in the middle section. Re-learning the entire

    thing would take more than the 3-5 hours I allot myself each week for these

    projects, so I spent a few hours re-memorizing and practicing the middle section

    arpeggios. God, they're so good. I highly recommend listening to someone more

    talented play them.

    Amusingly, and unrelatedly, this scherzo is featured in a 

    <a href="https://youtu.be/MBTxghBT7c8?t=366">Woody Woodpecker cartoon</a>, wherein

    the piano catches on fire.

    This is a fairly decent recording as I only hit a few wrong notes and mostly

    remembered the correct order in which order they're played.
