Hardly any cycle of piano pieces can match the magnetic attraction of Chopin s 24 Préludes , published in 1839. Schumann called them sketches, beginnings of études, [...] ruins, stray eagle's pinions, all disorder and wild confusion . Christoph Flamm has critically reevaluated the sources, bringing to light new readings of this well-known musical text. Hardy Rittner, a hammerklavier specialist and two-time winner of the ECHO Classic prize, who has recorded Brahms piano music and all of Chopin s Études on period pianofortes, has supplemented Chopin s fingering from a historically informed perspective. He also provides valuable notes on performance practice, especially with regard to pedalling, rubato, latent polyphony, legato and Chopin s perception of sound. An aesthetically presented engraving and practical page-turns make this current edition indispensable for today s scholars and performers. Urtext edition with new readings Notes on performance practice (Ger/Eng) With historically informed fingering and practical page-turns Informative Foreword (Ger/Eng) and detailed Critical Commentary (Eng)
