Piano Etudes by Frédéric Chopin and Claude Debussy.
Technique in the Service of Music
Pianist Damien Luce, in collaboration with Celui qui souffle, presents a selection of twelve études by Frédéric Chopin and six by Claude Debussy.
Early songs for Chopin, swan songs for Debussy, the piano études of these two composers share a common trait: they transcend the notion of mere “exercise.” Virtuosity here serves as a pretext for expressing the full poetry of which the instrument is capable. These études must be listened to (and played!) while forgetting the scales, arpeggios, octaves, thirds, sixths, and chromaticisms that constitute their grammar, in order to truly hear what they convey.

On imagine souvent les compositeurs penchés sur leurs manuscrits, le front plissé, drapés dans une austère gravité. Mais parfois ils s’amusent…
