A Monumental Gift for Music Lovers: A Deluxe Boxed Set of Philip
Glass's Most Beloved and Personal Body of Work, Along with a Book
of Appreciations from Notable Fellow Artists Philip Glass is one of
the most influential artists of our time. In his long and
staggeringly creative career as a composer, he's reached millions
of people and transformed how we listen to music. He's written 26
operas, 12 symphonies, 13 concertos, and 35 film scores. But his
most beloved, personal, and listened-to work is a series of 20
piano etudes. Originally created to "address the deficiencies in my
own playing," in Glass's words, they've taken on a life of their
own as a modern masterpiece-majestic and intimate at the same time,
these compositions for solo piano have been performed and recorded
by dozens of artists and streamed over 100 million times. Philip
Glass Piano Etudes is in every way a one-of-a-kind tribute to this
singular work. A deluxe boxed gift set, it includes the complete
etudes, 1 through 20, plus a hardcover book: Studies in Time:
Essays on the Music of Philip Glass. Each etude has been newly
engraved (the technical term used for drawing music notation at the
highest quality), and each is printed on oversize heavy stock and
sewn-bound into individual folios. In Studies in Time, artists and
writers including Laurie Anderson, Martin Scorsese, Maira Kalman,
Pico Iyer, Alice Waters, Tim Page, Ari Shapiro, and others reflect
on the music, the art of composition, the meaning of practice, and
so much more. In its heirloom box, this deluxe edition of the
etudes is to be cherished by music lovers, piano students and
players, and anyone attuned to contemporary culture, savoured for
its beauty and insights, and, of course, explored at the keyboard.
