Capsule Summary
Paganini Etudes 1, 3, 5 and 6 are composites assembled from recordings by Valery Kuleshov, Barbara Nissman, and Matti Raekallio. Etudes 2 and 4 combine only Kuleshov and Raekallio. The Sonetti del Petrarca are by John Browning, Vladimir Feltsman, and Peter Nagy. The second Legend is by François-René Duchâble while the first Legend switches back and forth several times between Duchâble and Feltsman.
Thanks to Yuan Huang for identifying the Paganini Etudes and making the wav file comparison images.
