Fr?d?ric Chopin???s 4 Scherzi are high points in the Romantic piano repertoire. Chopin here takes a traditional genre and fills it with radically new content. They are wild demonic in tone and there is little about them that isjoke-like despite the original meaning of their title. Referring to the 1st Scherzo Robert Schumann asked: ???how should seriousness be attired when even a ???joke??? is veiled in black'???. Now that the Scherzi nos. 1 4 have beenpublished in revised stand-alone editions G. Henle Publishers is now offering all four in paperback and hardback in an edition that reflects the current state of Chopin research. Both the footnotes and the extensive CriticalReport on the Internet offer detailed information on the familiar topic of ???Chopin variants??? and on all the textual problems they raise. This is Chopin in top form!

Frédéric Chopin is known worldwide as one of the leading musicians of the Romantic era. This collection of Mazurkas features all 57 of the Polish virtuoso pianist?s works written inthis genre for the solo Piano. Chopin started composing his mazurkas in 1825 and continued composing them until 1849 the year of his death. His Mazurkas while originating in the Polish dance(the ?mazurek?) differ from the traditional variety in that they were written for the concert hall rather than the dance hall so that it was Chopin who put the mazurka on the European musical map. Thesemazurkas signalled new ideas of nationalism and influenced and inspired other composers to support their national music. This Urtext edition is based on many different sources and follows the current state of research topresent the pieces in a form as close to the original intentions of the composer as possible. The comments at the end of the volume give detailed information about the sources and their deviations and an appendix with the firstversions of certain works is also included. Most of the pieces are quite brief and thus perfect for any skilled pianist?s repertoire.

From ca. 1828 until the last years of his life Frédéric Chopin devoted himself again and again to the nocturne genre emerging at the beginning of the 19th century. As Romantic character pieces evoking in particular evening and night moods they actually count among Chopin's most poetic Piano works. Their popularity is correspondingly large - that is reason enough to compile a selection of the most popular and at the same time technically somewhat easier pieces. The present pieces are ideal for pupils but also for piano-playing music lovers to immerse in the charming sound poems and as already realized by Jan Kleczynski in 1866 toobtain a key 'to reveal the secrets of the other even greater works of the master'.

Chopin's piano works renowned for their technical brilliance also invariably project the composer's mercurial moods. Their complex emotional content often lies close to the surface: a sparkling and graceful passage may be tinged with melancholy a dark moment may be crowned with a note of triumph. This superb collection of fifteen of Chopin's works for piano reflects these compelling qualities in some of the greatest piano compositions of the Romantic period.
