Études pour piano : L’intégrale

Description

The complete recording of the Studies op. 35, op. 42, and op. 48 marks a decisive step in the rediscovery of Alessandro Longo, a key figure in Italian pianism between the 19th and 20th centuries. Designed around thirds, sixths, and octaves, these cycles go far beyond their didactic purpose and stand as true sound films, where the severity of contrapuntal teaching engages with Mediterranean melodic sensitivity and echoes of Chopin, Czerny, and the great keyboard tradition. Within the broader context of the Progetto Longo, this release restores full dignity to a corpus of rare coherence, where pedagogy and poetry coincide in a shared artistic ethic.
