Debussy / Erika Haase - Etudes Pour Piano 2 [CD]

At the beginning of the 20th century there was not much innovation to be expected from the genre of the piano étude... Apart from Scriabine, Debussy was the first to reach the level of Chopin and Liszt and at the same time enrich the genre. The trailblazing novelty of his "Douze ëtudes" lies in their highly experimental nature; they are études not only for the pianist, but also for the composer... "Erika Haase plays these ëtudes as decisively and confidently as if she had composed them herself." (klassik heute)
