These 36 Études de styles (36 Style Studies) range from simplicity (“one must play what is easy as if it were difficult”) to a higher level (“one must play what is difficult as if it were easy”), encompassing concert pieces. They traverse different genres, techniques, and eras through original compositions, arrangements, or pastiches, with humor included. Each style is a “foreign language” that one must dare to play with their own accent. With musicality alone as the goal and appetite.
