Étude Op. 2 No. 1 is in 3/4 time and is in the key of C-sharp minor.
The melody of this étude is poignant and heartfelt, showing many characteristics of Russian Gypsy music. It is accompanied by the right hand and left playing repeated chords, these chords feature rich harmonies, inner voices, and large spreads in the left hand. The dynamics of the piece are varied constantly to display emotion and passion and to add interest. The piece features many key changes but finally concludes in the original key. Although it is a slow and somber piece, like many other études, it is considerably difficult to perfect.
