I absolutely fell in love with this melody 

Chopin's etude, known as the Revolutionary etude in the key of c minor. It features a powerful combination of fast and furious left hand running passages with right hand intense chords. Towards the end, and after an unexpected change of key to G-flat major, the music suddenly struggles between major and minor keys, ending triumphantly in a powerful "victory" chord of C MAJOR. Chopin did not call the etude "Revolutionary" but it is said to represent the struggle of his native country, Poland, as it was being invaded by Russia. The ending in a big, loud C Major Chord is very meaningful, as it could represent victory to his homeland.

Eduardo Caba (Potosi, Bolivia, 1890 - La Paz, Bolivia, 1953) was a Bolivian nationalist composer, a pianist and a music professor. He spent the most part of his professional life in Buenos Aires and his last ten years in La Paz.

The musicologists Salas and Pauletto consider Caba as an "intuitive composer with the vernacular motives of his homeland". The vernacular aspects are probably the most characteristic of Caba's musical language.
But the intuitive character of Caba's work is probably the most interesting, and it is interesting to understand the origin of this "intuition". Salas and Pauletto, who knew personally Eduardo Caba, explain it in the following way:

"Born close to the Indians, he spent time with them in his early years. 	It is not strange that he would assimilate their musical expression. He 	is not a folklorist, but an intuitive composer that creates music the 	same way the indigenous people do, trying to transmit their traditions, dances and songs, since he feels Indian as well.
