  Using the updated ALEPH V-A spectral function from tau decays, we determine
the lowest spectral moments of the left-right correlator and extract dynamical
information on order parameters of the QCD chiral symmetry breaking.
Uncertainties associated with violations of quark-hadron duality are estimated
from the data, imposing all known short-distance constraints on a
resonance-based parametrization. Employing proper pinched weight functions, we
obtain an accurate determination of the effective chiral couplings L10 and C87
and the dimension-six and -eight contributions in the Operator Product
Expansion.
