Chopin Complete Works Vol. IX : Waltzes

Chopin's works for piano and strings were usually made for a specific occasion, and we owe their existence to the repertoire needs of specific individuals. The exception is the Sonata in G minor for cello, the last work by the composer intended for publication, a work reflecting his current style, highly reflective, the result of imagination encroaching into post-romantic areas. Chopin's chamber works belong to the regular concert repertoire. These works were edited by by I. J. Paderewski, L. Bronarski and J. Turczyński. Table of contents: Chopin Fryderyk Grand Duo Concertant for Cello and Piano Chopin Fryderyk Polonaise Brillante Op. 3 for Cello and Piano Chopin Fryderyk Sonata Op. 65 for Cello and Piano Chopin Fryderyk Trio Op. 8 for Violin, Cello and Piano Chopin Fryderyk Variations for Flute

Chopinâ??s four ballades four impromptus and three sonatas are among the composerâ??s most mature works rivalled only by his scherzos and polonaises for extended thematic development and formal structure. The eleven compositions in this volume are drawn from Carl Mikuliâ??s comprehensive edition of Chopinâ??s complete works for piano. As Chopinâ??s student and later teaching assistant Mikuli was in a privileged position to reflect on the masterâ??s approach to keyboard performance. The works contained in this volume are complete.

Chopin's waltzes caused controversies. They reached a peak of popularity and were treated by many as masterpieces, by others as gravitating towards drawing-room music. Along with the nocturnes and impromptus, they are regarded as part of a ''female'' trend in Chopin's output. The ''Complete Works'' is the best known and most popular series of editions of Fryderyk Chopin's works, prepared by Ignacy Jan Paderewski, Ludwik Bronarski and Józef Turczyński. The aim of the editorial committee was as faithful a rendition of the composer's intention as possible by firmly basing the publication on manuscripts, copies approved by Chopin himself as well as the forst editions. The whole consists of 21 volumes. The content of edition: Chopin Fryderyk - Grande Valse Brillante in E flat major Op. 18 Chopin Fryderyk - Grande Valse Brillante in A flat major Op. 34 No. 1 Chopin Fryderyk - Grande Valse Brillante in A minor Op. 34 No. 2 Chopin Fryderyk - Grande Valse Brillante in F major Op. 34 No. 3 Chopin Fryderyk - Grande Valse in A flat major Op. 42 Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in D flat major Op. 34 No. 1 Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in C sharp minor Op. 64 No. 2 Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in A flat major Op. 64 No. 3 Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in A flat major Op. 69 No. 1 Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in A flat major Op. 69 No. 1 Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in B minor Op. 69 No. 2 Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in B minor Op. 69 No. 2 Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in G flat major Op. 70 No. 1 Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in F minor - A flat major Op. 70 No. 2 Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in F minor - A flat major Op. 70 No. 2 Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in D flat major Op. 70 No. 3 Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in E minor Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in E major Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in A flat major Chopin Fryderyk - Waltz in E flat major

Faur??s piano works are of central importance within his compositional oeuvre. He dedicated his ?Ballade? composed in 1879 to his teacher Camille Saint-Sa?ns. Structurally and in terms of its lyrical character the work breaks from the genre?s epic form and takes on the traits of the sonata form. In 1881 Faur? arranged his ?Ballade? for piano and orchestra and the work was premiered in this new scoring.Drawing on the most recent discoveries and comprehensive source research the work is presented in a scholarly-critical Urtext edition. The publication which is based on the ??uvres compl?tes de Gabriel Faur?? includes a detailed foreword and notes on performancepractice.Published on the basis of ??uvres compl?tes de Gabriel Faur??Incorporates the latest research and findings regarding the sourcesScholarly-critical Urtext edition with advice on performance practiceDetailed foreword (Fr/Eng/Ger)Christophe Grabowskiis a pianist and doctor of musicology who studied in Warsaw and in Paris. He edited among other works one volume of the ??uvres compl?tes de Gabriel Faur?? two volumes of the ??dition Compl?te des ?uvres de Claude Debussy? and was the series editor for the new Chopin Complete Edition. In 2010 together with John Rink he published the ?Annotated Catalogue of Chopin?s First Editions?.

Chopin was the only great composer who wrote almost entirely for the piano and his works are of such a uniformly high quality that they are all absolutely essential in the repertoire of any aspiring pianist. The Preludes and Etudes are exquisitely beautiful examples of his genius. They are reproduced here from the authoritative Mikuli edition and available in this one-volume publication.

Since the 1980s scholarly research into Reger has built up a picture of the diversity, complexity and variety of Reger's work and shown that the composer was the first to depart from the supposed logical evolution of music history. In the musical scene, on the other hand, ideas prevail that are clichéd and based on a small canon of works. This is now about to change.Since the beginning of the twenty-first century a thematic catalogue of the works of Max Reger and their sources has been put together in the Max-Reger-Institut Karlsruhe funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. This will be a fitting addition to our series of thematic catalogues of the works of Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin and Schumann. It contains in-depth information in a readable form on the complete original works and arrangements, both published and unpublished, completed or fragmentary. Information concerning the genesis, place and state of the handwritten and printed sources are presented comprehensively and reflect the current state of research. Thus not only scholars but also performers, music lovers and concert organizers will be able to get to know Reger's neglected but in many ways surprising works.Numerous indexes will make the Reger Thematic Catalogue easy and clear to use and it has all of the prerequisites to soon become the definitive reference work for Max Reger. / Orchestre

Although each study emphasizes an aspect of virtuoso piano technique, the etudes are some of the most effectively moving of all the concert works in piano literature. This 144-page volume includes the 24 Etudes, Opp. 10 and 25 as well as the three etudes without opus numbers composed in 1839 for Moscheles and Fetis's Method of Methods. Pedaling is taken from the original manuscripts and first editions, and fingering is editorial.

Gabriel Fauré?s 13 Barcarolles composed over a period of almost four decades (1882 1921) are highly representative of his output for piano and are regarded as his most characteristic works. They reflect his breaking free from the Romantic idiom particularly that of Chopin and Mendelssohn developing an independent musical language in which he combined tradition and the emerging modernism.These important works are now made available in scholarly-critical Urtext editions based on the ?uvres complètes de Gabriel Fauré and reflect the latest state of research. Detailed forewords offer information on the genesis and significance of thecompositions as well as valuable suggestions on historical interpretation.All the available manuscript and printed sources as well as piano rolls containing recordings by the composer have been taken into consideration leading to new discoveries particularly regarding the Valses-Caprices.Based on the ?uvres complètes de Gabriel FauréBased on the latest research findings and extensive source studiesInformative forewords with advice on performance practice (Fr/Eng/Ger)Christophe Grabowski is a French pianist and doctor of musicology and studied in Warsaw and Paris.
