Summary of This Score
Lullaby in D-flat Major, Op. 57 is one of Frédéric Chopin's most refined pieces, renowned for its dreamy colors, delicate melody, and highly refined writing. Composed during the summer of 1844, during a stay at Nohant with George Sand, this short piece nonetheless concentrates remarkable musical richness: a suspended atmosphere, a soothing theme, and a succession of variations that develop the discourse without ever breaking the gentle rocking motion.
Originally, Chopin envisioned this piece under the title "Variantes": the edition highlights this idea through the presentation of a sketch, shedding light on how the composer gradually shaped these transformations of the musical material. The result, both poetic and crafted with the precision of a goldsmith, makes it an essential work of the Romantic repertoire for pianists seeking demanding work on tone, touch regularity, and mastery of nuances.
This revised Urtext edition follows the tradition of major critical editions: it presents the compositional context and the state of the sources with rigor, while offering comfortable readability. Hans-Martin Theopold's fingerings provide concrete support for approaching the singing line, voice balance, and ornament fluidity, without imposing a single solution but guiding the interpretation. Note: this edition replaces HN 320.
