These edits do not alter the substance of the works; rather, they refine their temporal focus, revealing their emotional force with renewed clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConceived in parallel with Figures of Glass, a hybrid project developed with visual arts collective Scale, the release extends a dialogue between piano and light, sound and space. Between piano and light, Vanessa Wagner interprets Glass’s Études at the heart of a scenographic installation, exploring the visual imagination embedded in the composer’s music. Minimal structures become spatial gestures; repetition opens onto perception, colour, and resonance. Taken together, these edits form a coherent arc through Glass’s language: from tension and propulsion to suspension and introspection, from rhythmic urgency to contemplative stillness. Wagner’s approach is marked by precision, restraint, and a deep attention to resonance, allowing each piece to unfold with an assumed expressive sobriety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFigures of Glass also exists as a live creation, presented for the first time in Paris at the Théâtre du Châtelet on April 7, 2026. In both recorded and staged forms, the project invites contemporary listening contexts — from focused headphone listening to immersive visual environments — while reaffirming the Piano Études as a major landmark of 21st-century repertoire. Bridging modern classical piano, minimalist writing, and spatial listening formats, Figures of Glass (Piano Etudes – Edits) speaks equally to traditional classical audiences and new listeners discovering Philip Glass through curated, editorial-driven experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Infine Music","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":56400074539339,"sku":"R2768-9446","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f337d2f4-0f3b-ea61-a8f1-550211cec6bf.jpg?v=1769528140"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/vanessa-wagner-philip-glass.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
