Digital Booklet
It was certainly not his genre of predilection, but Chopin had the merit of writing three piano sonatas. Only two have really passed into posterity, despite criticism of them from learned professors who, like Vincent d'Indy, criticized them for not being regulatory. But, as Camille Bourniquel beautifully writes, "a poet may not want to compose tragedies; if he does, there will always be someone to point out to him that he broke the rules. » Ce n'était certainement pas son genre de prédilection, mais Chopin a eu le mérite d'écrire trois sonates pour piano. Deux seulement sont réellement passées à la postérité, en dépit des critiques dont elles ont été l'objet de la part de doctes professeurs qui, comme Vincent d'Indy, leurs reprochaient de n'être pas réglementaires. Mais, comme l'écrit joliment Camille Bourniquel, « un poète peut ne pas avoir envie de composer des tragédies ; s'il s'y risque, il se trouvera toujours quelqu'un pour lui faire observer qu'il n'a pas respecté les règles ».

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
