"Collard's technical polish and subtle nuances of touch lend interest to the Symphonic Etudes. His tasteful rubato and variegated articulation strike an ideal balance between Variation II's Marcato and Canto directives, while other details worth mentioning include Variation IX's super-supple fast chords and the uncommon clarity of Variation XI's rumbling figurations....Collard's straightforward sensitivity in the Op. 5 Impromptus (actually a variation set) makes the music sound more interesting than it actually is, and plays up its premonitions of Schumann works to come."
