17 well-known original pieces in progressive order of difficulty with practical comments-Although Frédéric Chopin was one of the greatest piano virtuosos of his time even pianists of moderate technical ability can enter into his Romantic magical realm. His mastery was such that his own unmistakeable style istangible even in his shorter less difficult pieces such as his mazurkas and waltzes. Our selection offers a progressive introduction to the musical language of this Polish-French master.

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'.

Frederic Chopin was one of the most original and influential composers in history. Although he only lived 39 years he wrote music that has thoroughly embedded itself in our culture. His melodies are often instantly familiar to us and show a profound lyric sense. Many qualities of Chopin's music are ideal for guitar transcription. He wrote pieces that are short with a manageable range. The textures are mostly single melody lines with harmonic accompaniment without the complex counterpoint that can be so difficult on the guitar. His music is often soft intimate subtle and full of naunces of articulation dynamics and phrasing. These qualities transfer quite naturally to the guitar. While remaining as faithful as possible to the composer's musical intentions these pieces experienced some modification that is noted in the provided performance notes. Intermediate in difficulty this book assumes the player has basic knowledge of the guitar and familiarity with either standard music notation or guitar tablature. Selections include: Prelude Op. 28 No. 7 - Prelude Op. 28 No. 20 - Prelude Op. 28 No. 4 - Cantabile; Mazurka Op. 6 No. 2 - Prelude Op. 28 No 15 - Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 - Nocturne Op. 15 No. 3 - Nocturne Op. 37 No 1 and Nocturne Op. 55 No. 1.
