Published in 2014, the Chrysalides for piano by Patrick Burgan (born in 1960) are the product of a commission by the Epinal International Piano Competition, which included the ten-minute piece in the programme of its March 2015 edition. The initially somewhat enigmatic tagline of these Chrysalides, which translates as ?imaginal variations for piano? is, in fact, an organistic metaphor, the chrysalid being the intermediary stage between the caterpillar and the butterfly?s final form, the imago. Following the path of this metamorphosis, Burgan?s imaginal variations start with chaos (pre-birth) and undergo all the evolutionary stages, which gradually clarify the image of the theme ? the imago, whose calm, appeased and completed form we only discover at the very end. The listener perceives an inversed theme and variations in terms of structure, but is also faced with the poetical evocation of a birth. Revealing the secrets of the metamorphosis through a musical language highly charged with sensuality, this piece is a celebration of life..

The sonatas are not grouped according to their degree of difficulty, they are given in the order which corresponds with the Kirkpatrick numbering. This is approximately identical with the order in which they were composed. In this way it became possible for the pairs of sonatas included in the selection to be placed closely after one another. Apart from inevitable minor alterations this edition follows the original text and its markings exactly. This does not apply to the fingering which is entirely an editorial addition. (In the original there is no fingering.) An ABRSM syllabus title, 2013-14, Grade 6.

Die Sonaten bringen wir nicht nach Schwierigkeitsgraden geordnet, sondern in der Reihenfolge von Kirkpatricks Verzeichnis. Diese Anordnung entspricht annähernd der Entstehungszeit der Stücke. Dadurch ist es möglich die paarweise zusammengehörenden Sonaten der Auswahl nebeneinander zu stellen. Unsere Ausgabe folgt, von kleineren, notwendigen Umstellungen abgesehen, genau dem Originaltext und dem ursprünglichen Zeichensystem. Dies bezieht sich jedoch nicht auf den Fingersatz, der durchweg ein Vorschlag des Herausgebers ist.
