There are many reasons why this collection can be considered as a unique publication, but let us mention the most important ones. The obvious one is that any publication with Fryderyk Chopin's works i...

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...

The 'Polonaise-Fantaisie' is among Chopin's last great piano works, and is a testament to his mastery and maturity. The out-of-the-ordinary title betrays the fact that Chopin was uncertain about which...

Chopin's waltzes were - contrary to, say, those by Schubert - no longer conceived for dancing or for the ballroom. These pieces assumed the form and function of idealized concert waltzes, which Chopin...

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...

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...
