Description: Schirmer Performance Editions of the Chopin (1810-1849) Preludes are designed for piano students and their teachers as well as for professional pianists. Chopin's Preludes, several of which are of only moderate difficulty, show superb polish and inventive detail. Shaped by the tastes of the Parisian aristocratic salon, these pieces make the most of a pianist's technical and musical abilities, both in passages of virtuosity and in the variety of possibilities for emotional expression. Pedagogical in nature, these Schirmer Performance Editions offer insightful interpretive suggestions, pertinent fingering, and historical and stylistic commentary. A performance CD by Pianist Brian Ganz is inluded in this edition. Edited by Brian Ganz, Distributed by Hal Leonard.
