Études

Album by Fryderyk Chopin & Leopold Godowsky & Boris Berezovsky

Études are sets of solo piano études by Polish composer Frédéric Chopin, first published as Op. 10 in 1833 and Op. 25 in 1837. The pieces exemplify Romantic piano writing, combining demanding technical challenges with lyrical, harmonic and textural invention, and they mark a key phase in Chopin's development and in the evolution of the solo piano repertoire.
First released: 30th August 2005
