five PIANO etudes after j.s. bach
The Etudes explore the music of Bach and its myriad influences on the music of the subsequent three centuries. The Etudes do not simply juxtapose the music of Bach with more contemporary soundworlds, but rather seek a new synthesis of the old and new. Feat. Jenny Lin, Robert Crane & Kelly Anderson.
