Par RAFF JOACHIM.

Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. “The Etudes op. 52 and op. 111 are little masterpieces of invention. On every page you encounter ingenious inventions for piano technique and sound.” (Isidore Philipp) What Isidore Philipp described in “Musica” in 1907 is still true today: indeed, the etudes of Saint-Saens offer a panopticon of French piano technique as complex as it is dazzling.

Par BRALEY BERNARD. Edited by Bernard Braley Bernard Braley's fascinating anthology begins with the Biblical premise, from Micah, that we are required to offer our work itself as living worship and living prayer. To this is added Teilhard de Chardin's modern insight that in the work of spirit, conducted through an individual's profession or vocation, lies 'the very bonework of society'. A wealth o…
