Eug�ne Ysaye completed four �tudes-Po�mes (study poems) between June 1900 and September 1901. Three of them were published after the composer's death by his grandson, Jacques Ysaye, but the �tude-Po�me in G minor, recorded here as a world premi�re, remained unpublished. Written in the summer of 1900 in the Belgian village of Sainte-Marie-Chevigny, soon after the �tudes-Po�mes in A major and E b minor, this work was given it's first performance by the composer himself and the French pianist Raoul Pugno on 17 October of the same year, in Copenhagen. For No� Inui, the sonatas have a fundamental meaning. The study and recording of the complete works is a gain and a challenge for him. The solo sonatas have accompanied him in his musical education since the age of fourteen.
