{"product_id":"wiener-urtext-edition-chopin-f-polonaises-piano-302577","title":"Chopin F. - Polonaises - Piano","description":"\u003ch3\u003eSummary of This Score\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePolonaises\u003c\/strong\u003e hold a central place in the oeuvre of \u003cstrong\u003eFrédéric Chopin\u003c\/strong\u003e : both emblematic for their character and rich in writing, making them an essential part of the piano repertoire. This edition offers a broad journey, ranging from youthful pieces suitable for advanced beginner pianists to polonaises fully belonging to the concert literature, where rhythmic power, inner singing, and sound control must combine with elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned in the spirit of an \u003cstrong\u003eUrtext edition\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is based on meticulous comparison work between available sources: autograph manuscripts, copies made by copyists, documents related to engraving, first editions, as well as copies that belonged to Chopin's students and were used in a pedagogical context. The goal is twofold: to provide a reliable text and to highlight the variants and adjustments found from one source to another, in order to illuminate choices of reading and articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA strong point of this publication lies in the attention given to \u003cstrong\u003eperformance indications\u003c\/strong\u003e : fingerings and interpretative notes by \u003cstrong\u003eChristian Ubber\u003c\/strong\u003e guide the pianist in managing technical passages, voice leading, accent balance, and constructing the \"polonaise\" character. For certain works, the edition favors as the main source the latest first editions published, which include late revisions and often a more readable presentation for performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe famous \u003cstrong\u003ePolonaise in A major, Op. 40 No. 1\u003c\/strong\u003e particularly illustrates this approach, as it is presented according to the versions of the \u003cstrong\u003eGerman and French first editions\u003c\/strong\u003e. Finally, for some early polonaises, \u003cstrong\u003esecond versions\u003c\/strong\u003e are also included, offering valuable material to understand Chopin's stylistic evolution and refine its piano interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Genre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSheet music\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eFrédéric Chopin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003epiano\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eWiener Urtext Edition\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiener Urtext Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360646091027,"sku":"302577","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/04dec987d617105725328ceb13b3faf39e5e8b6a_UT50157_42beda3d-4757-4cc5-8f26-09ad1d11e1ec.jpg?v=1789483018","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/wiener-urtext-edition-chopin-f-polonaises-piano-302577","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
