This set of virtuoso etudes by Marc-Andre Hamelin, one of the world's leading pianists, was composed over a span of 25 years. It includes both original character pieces and also works that incorporate elements of, or referback, to works by well-known composers. The publication of this volume coincides with the release of a new recording of the works, performed by Hamelin, on the Hyperion label.
