Produced by don christensen and martin goldray. Piano by philip glass. First to provide new music for my solo piano concerts. The complete piano etudes is the first ever publication of all 20 of renowned composer philip glass s beautifully simple pieces for solo piano.

The original six etudes were written for dennis russell davies and achyn freyer on the occasion of davies 50th birthday. I was in band and always had a strong interest in music so i was pretty good at picking out melodies by ear and playing simple chords underneath. Nos 1 10 belong to book 1 1994 notes. With their deft rhythmic and dynamic changes exciting harmonies and moving melodies the etudes are a joy to hear and play.

Before i discovered philip glass and this glorious book of etudes i d played piano very casually for 10 years or so never played consistently and never took lessons. The sound of a lifetime. Glass composed an additional four for himself to expand his own piano technique occasionally in response to individual commissions. Their purpose was two fold.
