The Complete Piano Etudes by Philip Glass

In 1994, Philip Glass resolved to become a better pianist, setting to work on a series of short compositions that would help him hone his skills at the keyboard. Two decades in the making, his 20 exquisite etudes[1] have recently been completed, standing as a record of one man’s deeply personal relationship to his instrument and an embodiment of his evolving style[2].

In this rare assemblage of talents, Glass is joined by nine other pianists—maverick composers Nico Muhly and Timo Andres; new music champion Bruce Levingston; stalwart Glass interpreters Maki Namekawa and Sally Whitwell; iconoclastic composer Anton Batagov; jazz prodigy Aaron Diehl; Grammy-nominated composer-conductor Tania León; and classical virtuoso Jenny Lin—to perform these works in their entirety.
