Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of Frédéric Chopin's piano masterpieces with the upcoming album '24 Preludes & Etudes', set to release on January 18, 2025, under UME - Global Clearing House. This exquisite collection showcases Chopin's unparalleled genius, featuring his complete 24 Preludes, Op. 28, and a selection of his most celebrated études from Op. 10 and Op. 25, along with a few enchanting Mazurkas. Spanning a duration of 1 hour and 48 minutes, this album is a testament to Chopin's enduring influence on classical piano music.
The 24 Preludes, Op. 28, offer a journey through a spectrum of emotions and technical challenges, each prelude a miniature masterpiece in its own right. From the spirited Agitato of No. 1 in C Major to the hauntingly beautiful "Raindrop Prelude" No. 15 in D-Flat Major, Chopin's compositions captivate with their depth and variety.
Complementing the preludes are the études from Op. 10 and Op. 25, each piece meticulously crafted to hone specific pianistic skills. The "Waterfall" (No. 1 in C Major), "Chromatique" (No. 2 in A Minor), and the "Revolutionary" (No. 12 in C Minor) from Op. 10, alongside the evocative "Aeolian Harp" (No. 1 in A-Flat Major) and "Ocean" (No. 12 in C Minor) from Op. 25, demonstrate Chopin's ability to blend technical exercises with profound musical expression.
The album is rounded out with a selection of Mazurkas, including the poignant Mazurka No. 7 in F Minor, Op. 7 No. 3, and the lively Mazurka No. 16 in A-Flat, Op. 24 No. 3. These pieces, deeply rooted in Chopin's Polish heritage, add a layer of cultural richness to the collection.
