{"product_id":"chopin-etudes-op-10-op-26","title":"Chopin: Etudes, Op. 10 \u0026 Op. 25","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThrough channeling his intelligent virtuosity toward musical ends, Murray Perahia reveals the distinctive voice of each Chopin Étude, rather than imposing a \"one style fits all\" aesthetic upon the music. His easy mastery of the right-hand double-note challenges of Op. 10 No. 7 and Op. 25 Nos. 6 \u0026amp; 8 and the taxing rotary patterns of the famous \"Black Key\" and \"Winter Wind\" études enable him to clarify their significant left-hand component. Note, too, the \"Octave\" étude's long-lined ebb and flow, or a sharper, more aggressive C-sharp Minor, Op. 10 No. 4, than the one Perahia recorded in the early 1990s. But his unusually brisk take on the E-flat minor (Op. 10 No. 6) trivializes the music's aching harmonic tension, and the two C Minor Études (including the \"Revolutionary\") are a shade inhibited compared with the unbridled bravura of the versions by György Cziffra (Philips) and Juana Zayas (Music \u0026amp; Arts). These quibbles, however, should not prevent piano lovers from experiencing Perahia's well-considered and superbly engineered interpretations of the oft-recorded masterpieces. --Jed Distler\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00006JKG8\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00006JKG8.N\u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Frederyk Chopin|Murray Perahia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dream Books Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41445977325626,"sku":"DBV.B00006JKG8.N","price":12.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/6011\/0138\/files\/B00006JKG8-0_963f9b7b-21e0-4c66-bc4b-daae83089bfa.jpg?v=1780696123","url":"https:\/\/shop.dreambooksco.com\/products\/chopin-etudes-op-10-op-26","provider":"Dream Books Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
