These dreams have come true, as the Bach recordings have been released (Alpha 669 \u0026amp; 1034), and he now presents his recording of the Études Op. 10 and Op. 25, as well as the three posthumous Études-thus the complete set of Chopin's Études. According to Pilsan, 'Bach reveals the polyphonic nature of Chopin. By playing Bach, I have sharpened my awareness of the multiple inner voices in Chopin, especially the left hand as a harmonic and rhythmic foundation, transforming Chopin into something architecturally rich.' The Austrian pianist distinguishes between the two cycles: Op. 10 is 'direct, brilliant, and passionate, almost explosive', while Op. 25 is 'more refined and introspective'. He concludes: 'Chopin used them pedagogically, but they are also profound artistic works, combining technical development with a wide emotional range.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52280810176808,"sku":"3701624512708","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/4528225-3668405.jpg?v=1787672681","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/pre-order-aaron-pilsan-chopin-the-complete-etudes-cd","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
