Summary of This Score
Designed for the pianist who wishes to go beyond mere reading, this study edition published under the direction of Alfred Cortot highlights a demanding journey at the heart of Romantic piano music. You will find four emblematic Scherzos, each with its own character, texture changes, dramatic surges, and lyrical breaths, offering a comprehensive study ground on sonority, polyphonic clarity, and the management of great contrasts.
The pieces are presented separately: Opus 20 in B minor, Opus 31 in B-flat minor, Opus 39 in C-sharp minor, Opus 54 in E major. Together, they form a coherent selection to work on endurance, precision of fast passages, balance of sound layers, and form architecture, while developing a personal interpretation. A relevant choice for advanced levels, both in conservatories and stage preparation.
