Description
(Text)
With the publication of Préludes Op. 28, Op. 45, another landmark volume joins the acclaimed series The Complete Chopin - A New Critical Edition. Chopin's Préludes mark a significant break in the long history of the genre, for with this collection the hitherto utilitarian prelude became essentially autonomous. In the words of Franz Liszt they are, 'poetic preludes, like those of a great contemporary poet, who cradles the soul in golden dreams, and elevates it to the regions of the ideal'. This Urtext edition, edited by Jean-Jacques Eigeldinger, includes the Préludes along with a preface and critical commentary.
The Complete Chopin - A New Critical Edition series is recognised as the definitive scholarly edition of Chopin's music. Under the direction of editor-in-chief John Rink, a team of some of the world's most respected Chopin specialists contribute their unrivalled collective knowledge to imbue the project with unique authority, drawing upon the latest international scholarship. The Complete Chopin prioritises the needs of the practical pianist and provides a text of each work based on a single principal source together with important variants from other authoritative sources, along with thorough critical commentaries and prefatory essays in English, French and German.
