CHOPIN – Interpreting the Grandes Etudes, Op.10 and Op.25 - Interpreter v Composer
“Angela Lear enshrines all that is best in Chopin playing.”
BBC Music Magazine
A unique book that gives a detailed commentary on the various aspects
governing Chopin interpretation. Two CDs are included: CD1 is a
complete performance featuring several original variants and CD2
illustrates comparative approaches to each étude.
Angela Lear’s commentaries and recordings are based on extensive research into Chopin’s Autographs, draft/sketch manuscripts, annotated scores, original editions and all available sources.
Chopin’s music has always posed a challenge to pianists, but has the challenge to his interpreter ever been successfully met? Angela Lear writes ‘from the inside’ as a Chopin exponent on her research findings with her personal thoughts on the Art of piano playing.
