About
The challenge of the Etude has intrigued and inspired composers from Bach and Chopin on: can music designed to improve technique hold its own aesthetic value? Pianist Christina Bjørkøe has an inspired answer to that question. She commissioned a set of three animal etudes from twelve composers and here presents the charming, evocative and very useful musical menagerie that resulted. From flea to hippo, beginner to professional, there is something for everyone.

Twelve different beasts are depicted in specially commissioned three-movement suites by contemporary composers, ranging from Mogens Christensen’s fleas to John Frandsen’s surprisingly sprightly hippo. All told, it’s great fun.
