I decided to record this valuable collection, firstly because these pieces are rich in compositional value and quality, beautiful in melody, and consistent in form and harmony. Moreover, the collection is deeply pianistic and intimately familiar with common and standard classical piano techniques, which I believe is a distinctive aspect. The pianistic nature of these works is significant—a quality often overlooked by composers in works by living composers.
And secondly, over the years of performing and teaching, I have seen the need for such balanced and refined works among serious audiences and students. Pieces that maintain their identity without merely repeating old traditions without understanding them, but rather offer a perspective born from years of study and research, developed into a mature artistic vision.
