He did not write 12. He wrote 27. 12 in Op. 10, 12 in Op.25 and "Trois Neaveux Etudes". The first two sets are the most popular and the last is considerably easier than the 24 preceding it. Composers write etudes in the Romantic period as a way to show off their virtuosity and they are also short and expressive lyric or character pieces. They also often focus on one technical aspect, like double thirds, arpeggios, large intervals, etc. Chopin and Liszt are the more popular etude composers who transferred the etude from a dry exercise to an expressive device. Those etudes are favourites among virtuosos like Horowitz, Ashkenazy, Richter, Pollini and Ruberstein.
Chopin wrote 27 etudes; two sets of 12 (op.10 and op.25) and "Three New Etudes."
Dated up to today April.27, 2010, it was Melodie Zhao who officially recorded all the etudes at 13 years old. However, one more recording will be released in May, 2010, featuring the youngest ever EMI artist: Shengliang Zhang(or Nick Name for Niu Niu), this will soon be the officially youngest pianist ever recorded the etudes, he was 12 Years Old.

No. There are several of his nocturnes(Op. 9 No. 2) and etudes(Op. 10 No. 12) that objectively speaking, are more famous than the Minute Waltz. Nevertheless, I like Minute Waltz the most as its the 1st Chopin song I've ever learned.
Etude no. 3 op.10? It is much less demanding of technique than most of his other etudes. It's very difficult to obtain the musicality though.
1. Nocturnes no. 2, 8, and 20 2. Preludes no. 4 and 15 3. etudes op. 10 no. 3 and 12 and op.25 no.11 4. funeral march from sonata no.2 5. Scherzo no.2 6. ballade no.1 7. Polonaises no. 3 and 6 8. Barcarolle Op. 60, B. 158 9. waltz no.1 10. Fantasie in F minor Op.49 11. Fantasie Impromptu
Some of the most famous orchestral snare drum etudes are written by either Delecluse or Cirone. Some of the most popular etudes to play for college auditions come out of Delecluse's 12 Etudes for Snare Drum. As for rudimental solos, Pratt's Contest Solos for Snare Drum are considered standards in the percussion world.
Frédéric Chopin is famous for his piano compositions. He wrote by far the most piano compositions as a composer. His etudes and preludes are very famous and acclaimed. He also wrote mazurkas, valses, sonatas, polonaises, nocturnes, scherzos and so forth. His most famous pieces are the revolutionary etude (op. 10 no. 12), ballade in g minor (op. 23) and nocturne posthume. His scherzos were very innovative, just like his preludes and etudes. (He was the first to compose a etude which was musically more demanding than technically demanding. His preludes are famous because they are all wonderful separate pieces, unlike other preludes (before Chopin) which needed be played before ('pre') another piece (for instance preludes and fugas by Bach)
Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude" (Op. 10, No. 12) is characterized by its intense emotion and technical demands. It features rapid left-hand passages that evoke a sense of urgency and turmoil, symbolizing the struggle for freedom during the Polish uprising of 1830. The piece is renowned for its dramatic contrasts and virtuosic challenges, particularly in the use of dynamic fluctuations and intricate finger work, making it a staple in the piano repertoire. Overall, it embodies both a personal and nationalistic fervor, showcasing Chopin's unique ability to blend technical prowess with deep emotional expression.

Yes she wrote it when she was around 12 years old. :)
You could write it as 12/1
Given that Chopin was born in 1810 in Poland, and his Revolutionary Etude wasn't written until 1831, the answer is a definite NO.
