Renowned for their technical difficulty, Ilic presents Godowsky's Studies on Chopin's Études. Critic Harold C. Schonberg called them "the most impossibly difficult things ever written for the piano." Ilic also presents JS Bach's D minor Chaconne, transcribed to the left hand by Brahms. An interesting set of left-hand piano pieces from the greats (Bach and Chopin), as interpeted for a more contemporary setting.
