Music Comments & Discussion
An American pianist who plays in the minimalist style. He uses very few musical notes but creates very complex music. He has also done film scores. It doesn't seem possible to do this but he does. Brilliant.

About this Music
Philip Glass’ wildly popular solo piano performances inspired the recording of "Etudes for Piano, Vol. I, nos. 1-10". Orange Mountain Music is proud to present the premiere recordings of these compositions. Mr. Glass states in the album’s liner notes: "The Etudes began for me in the mid-90s and I am still adding new music to this collection as I write these notes in 2003. Their purpose was two-fold. First, to provide new music for my solo piano concerts. And second, for me to expand my piano technique with music that would enhance and challenge my playing. Hence, the name Etudes, or "studies". The result is a body of work that has a broad range of dynamic, tempo and emotion. I hope to complete the second set of ten etudes, of which the first six are already composed, in the next few years."This is Orange Mountain Music’s seventh release of Philip Glass’ material and the first to contain all new recordings.
