Étude in E Flat Major, Op. 10, No. 11 (1829-32) 2. Étude in a Minor, Op. 25, No. 4 (1835-37) 3. Étude in a Minor, Op. 10, No. 2 (1829-32) 4.

This recording proposes a bridge between these two composers. The record is rounded out with Dvorák's Bohemian Forests (Aus Dem Böhmerwalde).

Variationen Über Ein Thema Von Robert Schumann, Op. 23 3. From the Bohemian Forest (Ze Šumavy), Op. 68
