Capsule Summary
The Paganini Etudes draw from recordings by three pianists. Etudes 1, 3, 5 and 6 are composites assembled from recordings by Kuleshov, Nissman, and Raekallio. Etudes 2 and 4 combine only Kuleshov and Raekallio. In Etude4, bars 27-28 are inadvertently repeated due to an error when splicing Raekallio and Kuleshov together. In Variation 7 of Etude 6, the first four bars are copied and duplicated to create an artificial repeat not present in Kuleshov’s original recording. The remainder of the disc has not yet been identified.
Thanks to Yuan Huang for identifying the Paganini Etudes and making the wav file comparison images.
