This new release from DUX presents an unusual recording – the complete Piano Etudes of American composer Philip Glass. This music was created over the course of 20 years, at the turn of the 21st century. The composer initially wrote it for himself, in accordance with the compositional conventions of the time, as a technical exercise. At the same time, however, he used this short form to explore the possibilities of minimalism. The compositions are spectacular and brilliant, yet at the same time meditative and clear.

On this recording, we hear outstanding Polish pianist, Maciej Gański. The complete Etudes, created over the period of over 20 years, recorded by one musician is a project that allows us to further explore Glass's music better in a technically and expressively outstanding performance.
