Summary of This Score
This critical edition by Christophe Grabowski gathers a major corpus of Frédéric Chopin's piano waltzes (Walzer), emphasizing textual accuracy and source understanding. It notably includes the Grande Valse brillante in E-flat major Op. 18, the three waltzes of Op. 34 (A-flat major, A minor, F major), the waltz in A-flat major Op. 42, as well as the essentials from Op. 64, including the waltz in D-flat major Op. 64 No. 1 known as the "Minute Waltz".
The central interest of this publication lies in the presence of alternative versions for several pieces, clearly identified as "Fassung nach Quelle..." (version according to the source). Some waltzes are offered in different readings derived from autographs, copies, or first editions (for example versions C1, C2, or P for a Polish first edition), allowing comparison of details in notation, articulation, ornaments, or transitions. For the pianist, this is a valuable tool to build a coherent, informed interpretation respectful of Chopin's style.
Designed for solo piano, this score is intended both for discerning musicians seeking a carefully prepared text and for teachers and students wishing to deepen their approach to the Romantic repertoire through an edition that highlights variants and the editorial history of the works.
