New CD: The Complete Etudes By Frederic Chopin Intended To Cast A New Light

ANKARA, Turkey - Aug. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- The pianist Okonsar born Turkish, naturalized Belgian (LMO-Records) has ultimately proclaimed the launching of his coming concept album: the complete Etudes by Chopin.

The artist, who is also a musicologist, has a very personal understanding of the works.

He claims: "There is something I find absolutely outstanding, particular, in the Etudes by Chopin when compared to others in the genre, like the ones by Liszt for example. With Chopin, there is an impossibility to draw a line between the musical thought and the pianistic notion. I mean by that, generally, there is a musical concept on one side and a pianistic realization of that plan on another. With more or less success, composers did realize their musical ideas on the instruments of music or orchestra.

Nevertheless in Chopin there is something out of the ordinary which only exists in a few other composers. That is, with Chopin, the musical idea seems to be born out of the pianistic plan without being subordinated to it. I mean by that, with, for example the Studies by Czerny or Moscheles there are only instrumental ideas with subject matters like arpeges, scales and so on. Then those studies have taken a musical form, more or less genuine, which gave them their final aspect. With Chopin, of course we have those pianistic "subjects" like arpeges, thirds, sixths and so on that we all know, but also there is the "musical idea" which itself is great because it is a musical understanding by Chopin. The correlation between this musical notion and the pianistic one is so dense and abundant that we cannot see where one stops and the other kicks-in.."

The launch, which is his 10th solo studio recording, has been planned for distribution earlier, nevertheless Okonsar reported the upgrading of his individual studio took longer than estimated.

LMO-Records, established by Lale and Mehmet Okonsar is already having an imposing listing.

"I have been a fine admirer of the music by Frederic Chopin" The musicologist, composer and pianist Mehmet Okonsar told on various situations. "The music of Frederic Chopin did spoke to me since my beginnings."

The great news did not stop here though, as Okonsar reported that he's setting up several more publications to come.

The publication is meant to cast a new light into the musical works of Frederic Chopin, specifically the selections presented here.
