This set of virtuoso études by one of today's top pianists was written over a span of 25 years, and includes both original character pieces and also works that incorporate elements of or refer back to works by well-known composers.
"More than half of this collection has been previously available, circulating among pianists and interested parties for a number of years. However, previous incarnations of some of the earlier études are now obsolete, since I have made a significant number of changes and improvements."--Marc-André Hamelin
Includes a detailed Composer's foreword in both English and German.
