Philip Glass has compiled 20 of his original etudes in an upcoming book that’s set to arrive October 31st. Written for solo piano, Philip Glass Piano Etudes presents this music in a deluxe boxed set.
The whopping nine-pound clothbound box includes the printed sheet music — titled The Complete Folios 1-20 — as well as Studies in Time: Essays on the Music of Philip Glass, a collection of original essays by Martin Scorsese, Alice Waters, Laurie Anderson, Ira Glass, Ari Shapiro, Pico Iyer, and many more, putting Glass’ impact into perspective.
Glass began composing these etudes in the early 1990s as a method to, in his own words, “address the deficiencies in my own playing.” The twentieth etude was completed in 2012, and they’ve since become a go-to source for both beginner and experienced pianists.
Pre-orders for the beautifully-designed set are ongoing, and you can see photos of it below.
