Chopin is known to have written a total of 27 etudes, most of which are contained in Op. 25 and Op. 10 of his works. In this article, I chose 3 of these 27 that are generally considered the "easier" of the bunch. Remember though, that etudes are by their very nature technically demanding compositions, so even for the 3 etudes discussed here you will need to be an advanced student of the piano.

The three etudes featured in this list all happen to be from Opus 25, and they are: Etude Op. 25, No. 2 in F Minor ("The Bees"), Etude Op. 25, No. 1 in A flat Major ("Aeolian Etude") and Etude Op. 25, No. 9 in G flat Major ("The Butterfly").

Note: Chopin also has much slower etudes that some people might consider easier than the ones presented here, simply because of their speed. However, for the purposes of this article I chose to go with the easy "fast" etudes, as these are much more popular and, in my opinion, more interesting to play. If you do want to take a look at the easier "slower" etudes of Chopin, feel free to take a look at Etude Op. 10, No. 3 ("Tristesse"), Etude Op. 25, No. 7 ("Cello"), or Etude Op. 10, No. 6.
