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 \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3701624512708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alpha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.25.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"First City Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48973874954459,"sku":"282166004","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/1609\/5451\/files\/4528225-3668405.jpg?v=1784045255","url":"https:\/\/firstcityrecordstore.com\/products\/aaron-pilsan-chopin-the-complete-etudes-cd","provider":"First City Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
