Summary of This Score
This Urtext edition dedicated to Frédéric Chopin's Waltzes offers a comprehensive and rigorously established overview of this essential repertoire for piano. The volume gathers all known and catalogued waltzes to date, emphasizing the reliability of the musical text and transparency of sources. Particularly valuable for the performer, the autograph versions of Waltzes Opus 69 and Opus 70 (nos. 1 and 2) are presented side by side with the versions prepared for publication by Fontana after the composer's passing. This direct comparison allows one to gauge differences, identify notation details, and refine choices of articulation, phrasing, and rubato, serving a stylistically informed interpretation.
The last waltzes are also accompanied by the KK numbers from the thematic catalogue compiled by Krystyna Kobylanska (published in 1979), a valuable tool for pianists, teachers, and music lovers wishing to place each piece within a recognized nomenclature. Finally, the editor chose not to include the waltz in E-flat major KK IV, whose authenticity is not considered established. Intended for difficulty level 3, this score is perfectly suited for serious study of the Romantic repertoire: it supports both study (development of melody, balance between left and right hands, rhythmic flexibility) and preparation for concert performance, offering a reliable and structured textual basis to approach Chopin's waltzes with rigor.
