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":"New \/ CD \/ Chopin: The Complete Etudes Alpha","offer_id":49187439116596,"sku":"ALLP1270.2","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7436\/1652\/files\/4528225-3668405_d5060b88-75cc-47fa-a818-73e9662bc438.jpg?v=1790091142","url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/aaron-pilsan-chopin-the-complete-etudes_aec-allp1270-2","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
