Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849): Valses. Partitura de estudio

Herausgegeben von / Edited by: Ewald Zimmermann
Fingersatz von / Fingering by Hans-Martin Theopold

Chopin revolutionized the etude - but he ennobled the waltz. He spent much time on this genre throughout his life and created a wide spectrum of forms, from virtuosic showpieces - the Grandes Valses Brillantes - to deeply melancholic atmospheric pictures. All these works have one thing in common: one cannot and should not dance to them! Our volume contains all of the waltzes that were published during Chopin?s lifetime, or posthumously, including popular masterpieces such as the so-called "Minute Waltz" (op. 64 no. 1). In cases where two authentic versions of the same waltz have been transmitted, we naturally give the Urtext of both versions.
