Nocturnes and Polonaises

I love my Dover set of Chopin pieces.

Very nice edition. Well edited with good fingerings and dynamic markings. Nice thick pages and good binding. My piano teacher has approved. It does not have the posthumous Polonaises.

I purchased this book because it was advertised as a Paderewski edition, in an attempt to answer a question that I have on the Nocturne #20, C# minor, Op. Posthumous. It was suggested that the Paderewski edition may more true to what Chopin intended, and I was surprised that I received the Mikuli edition.I have studied this Nocturne, and also listened to several recodings, mand this is my question;The time signature at the beginning of the Nocturne is 4/4,tempo Lento. The time signature changes to 2/4 at measure 32, and to 3/4 for measures 33 to 40.However, in all the recordings I listened to, the pianist plays measures 33 to 40,at about twice the speed, although most editions, including this Mikuli, do not show a change of tempo at measure 33. I did find one edition by Joseffy, published by Schirmer, which shows a tempo change to Animato at measures 30 through 40. I am still looking for the most correct interpretation.

My children all play Chopin ... I am not talented enough or maybe I just don't have time to learn ... but they say these are the best books.Although having it spiral bound would be better, it's wonderful to have these resources used at great prices!! For the songs that get played over and over again we either copy them or rip the binding out of the book. Of course it could be taken to a professional book binder to have it spiral bound but we try to do things as frugally as possible.Great buy!!

Good

Yes, Chopin is my favorite. This book contains a pretty complete list of Nocturnes and Polonaises, though I haven't got to all of them. It's always one or two pieces I buy the book for. And these are formatted in a way that is easy to read.

Doesn't even come with the Grand Polonaise!!! Part of the reason I got the book...it's missing more than that too.

It is a treasure for my collection.

Adorei a edição. Muito clara e com tamanho excelente

Fue un regalo para mi mamá y le gustó, la edición es buena, no le doy 5 estrellas porque no trae la Polonesa brillante op. 22.

Excelente compra. Tudo ótimo

Gostei do método. Muito bom.
