Description: Can music designed to improve technique hold its own aesthetic value? Danish pianist Bjørkøe has an inspired answer to that question. She commissioned a set of three animal etudes from twelve composers and here presents the charming, evocative and very useful musical menagerie that resulted. From flea to hippo, beginner to professional, there is something for everyone. Christina Bjørkøe (piano).
