This painting, though small, evokes a vast sky, with bare wintering trees and large clouds. A buffetting, chilly wind creates energy and movement, referring to the action in Chopin’s composition, Winter Wind.

The étude begins with a piano (soft) introduction of the main melody. The first theme follows, consisting of tumultuous cascades of semiquaver-tuplets (sixteenth-note-tuplets) and a leaping figure for the left hand in the relative major, C major, which shortly segues into a repetition of the first theme. It finishes with a short piano development into a fortissimo coda, and ends with one final statement of the theme.
