Capsule Summary
The first eighteen Waltzes are taken from Arthur Moreira-Lima’s Pro Arte recording except for the opening eight bars of No. 14, which are played by Garrick Ohlsson. Tracks 19 and 20 come from Jerzy Sterczyński’s Selene disc, although early issues of this Concert Artist volume originally used Moreira-Lima for track 19 before substituting Sterczyński’s faster performance. The three Ecossaises remain unidentified. No evidence of tempo manipulation was detected.
