Capsule Summary

Although issued with two different covers, the performances on both releases are identical. The later edition features slightly fuller, more resonant sound. Four pianists were used to assemble this set: Yuki Matsuzawa (17 Etudes), Vardan Mamikonian (8 Etudes), Garrick Ohlsson (1 Etude), and Michiko Tsuda (1 Etude). Twenty tracks show minor tempo manipulation, generally within a few percent.

Thanks to Yuan Huang (the Chopin Etudes collector) for identifying all tracks on this CD.
