Summary of This Score
Sonatas Op. 35, 58 (Series A, Vol. X) brings together two major works from Chopin's so-called "synthesis" period, recognized for the combination of sovereign technique and particularly intense expression. This edition (Jean Ekier) is part of the National Edition and offers a carefully established musical text, designed to meet the expectations of demanding pianists as well as conservatory professors and students.
You will find the Sonata Op. 35, famous notably for its Funeral March, as well as the Sonata Op. 58, a vast fresco where the piano writing gains in density, formal clarity, and sonic depth. The volume pays particular attention to notation variants : those marked "ossia" correspond to alternatives explicitly indicated by Chopin (or noted in his hand in students' copies), while other variants arise from discrepancies between authentic copies or from difficulties in reading the original text when it does not allow for a univocal interpretation.
This editorial approach allows these sonatas to be approached with real confidence in the reading, while preserving room for musical reflection. A pertinent choice for working on the construction of large forms in Chopin, refining phrasing art, managing polyphonic balances, and developing a controlled sonority, from the most intimate cantabile to the most dramatic climaxes.
