With Frédéric Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu in c-sharp minor, G. Henle Verlag presents a further Urtext separate issue from among the most popular works of this central composer of romantic piano music...

The fact that Chopin's waltzes are no longer dance music, but refined concert pieces for performance in salon or concert hall, emerges nowhere as sharply as in the 'Grande Valse' op. 42. The main them...

This virtuoso etude has been given the nickname 'Black Key Study' by pianists, since, apart from one single f in M. 66, the right hand does not touch a single white key. This gives the harmony a penta...

Chopin published his Scherzi nos. 1-3 at more-or-less regular intervals, in 1835, 1837 and 1840 - almost as if he'd planned them in advance. He published his fourth and final work in this genre after...

Chopin succeeded in doing something truly remarkable with his two cycles of Etudes op. 10 and op. 25, published in 1833 and 1837 respectively. Probably no one before him had composed technical practic...

Mazurkas, nocturnes, waltzes and polonaises constitute the core of Chopin's expressive world. However, he also moved comfortably beyond such genre cycles, and pieces of this sort are brought together...

Not every listener will immediately realize that this piece, which begins in the style of a dream-like nocturne with one of Chopin's most enchanting melodic ideas, originated as a piano etude. But upo...

With a versatility and naturalness as appropriate to the salon as to the concert hall, Chopin's Nocturnes rank among the works that brought the composer not only fame, but also enormous renown. The de...

Fréderic Chopin's stay with George Sand on Mallorca in the winter 1838/1839 was ill-fated. Yet Chopin still managed to finish his 'Préludes” there which he had begun to compose in Paris. Today's inter...

Esta es una gran pieza para todo el conjunto. El tema es sencillo y a continuación se suceden las variaciones, en las que interviene cada instrumento. Termina con un torrente salvaje de semicorcheas q...

The Nocturne in e minor was written as early as 1827, and is among the Chopin juvenilia that were published only after his death. Julian Fontana, Chopin's long-time confidant and assistant in all area...

Chopin revolutionized the etude - but he ennobled the waltz. He spent much time on this genre throughout his life and created a wide spectrum of forms, from virtuosic showpieces - the Grandes Valses B...

Next to the polonaises and the waltzes, the mazurkas are the third dance form which Chopin cultivated in his music. They constitute the largest of these three groups, boasting nearly 60 pieces. Chopin...

This Henle Urtext edition is very special, for behind the 'Selected Piano Works' concept is a compilation of Chopin's most popular pieces. Moreover, the editor and publisher have placed great weight o...

Chopin's Polonaise in A major op. 40 no. 1 is better known as the 'Military Polonaise'. Indeed, the brisk rhythm, the 'drum roll' in the middle section and the heroic demeanour of the work in general...

Though the autograph has disappeared, this posthumously published waltz is a jewel of Chopin's art, effectively combining dramatic passages with outpourings of lyricism. Despite its virtuoso brillianc...
