"It all begins with the piano!
The recipient of all the passions, whether written for musical virtuosos, melancholics or poets, this king of instruments has dominated the classical scene for 200 years. Many pieces owe it their great popularity.
From Bach to the music of today, the 100 masterpieces in this box set will easily convince you that the piano is the instrument with which it all begins!"
