Real "Transcendental Etudes", these works are composed with all the technichal evolution in mind.
The pieces use elements like intervals or effects which are difficult to play and the main idea is to bring a new horizon on the art of virtuoso playing. The physical limits are the ending point, and being able to show the musicality at this ending point is the real challenge. The first book contains: - Etude Op.1 No.1 "Homage to Hermann Heiss" (polirhythm study) - Etude Op.1 No.2 "Allegro Agitato" (study on chords) - Etude Op.1 No.3 "Homage to Rimsky-Korsakov - The Flight of the bumble-bee" (study on 3rds, 5ths and 8ves.) - Etude Op.1 No.4 "Allegro" (study on 4ths) - Etude Op.1 No.5 "Homage to Bela Bartok" (study on 9ths and inverted arpeggios) - Etude Op.1 No.6 "Maquinal" (study on 7ths and jumps) The second book contains: (only 7 and 8 are edited at the moment) - Etude Op.1 No.7 "Homage to Maurice Ravel" (study on 2nds, 7ths, repeated notes and harmonics) - Etude Op.1 No.8 "Ka Waiata Nga Maunga" (study on 6ths and tremolos) - Etude Op.1 No.9 "Homage to Ferruccio Busoni" (study on augmented 4ths.) - Etude Op.1 No.10 "Moto Perpetuo" (study on all the intervals) - Etude Op.1 No.11 "Homage to Khaikoshru Sorabji" (study on Sorabji's most eccentric and difficult passages) - Etude Op.1 No.12 "Fantasy and fugue on BACH" (study on difficult fingerings) |
