It seems only fitting, then, that Vicky Chow should take up the challenge. For more than a decade, she has exerted her star presence with her standout work as part of the Bang on a Can All-Stars, while also teaming up with such composers as Michael Gordon, Tristan Perich, Jane Antonia Cornish and more to release a series of compelling, and at times even physically demanding, solo performances. She has also shared stages with Glass himself - experiences that have given her a more immediate and personal grasp of the composer's original intention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Piano Etudes, Book 1~Etude No. 1 \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Piano Etudes, Book 1~Etude No. 6 \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Piano Etudes, Book 1~Etude No. 8\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Vicky Chow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39804901523527,"sku":"43001347","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4135070-2894159.jpg?v=1711777103","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/chow-vicky-glass-phillip-glass-piano-etudes-book-1","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
