Description:
Chopin's name is closely associated with the piano for all eternity. He was an outstanding pianist, improviser and, of course, composer with his very own personal style, characterized by a sense of rubato, echoes of Polish folk music, grace and melancholy, but also virtuosity, pride and heroic gestures. No other cycle of works exerts such an attraction as his "Préludes op. 28". He completed them shortly before his 29th birthday while spending a winter on Mallorca with George Sand and her children.
This collection of nine selected "Préludes" is published as part of a series of popular works from the Bärenreiter program to mark the 100th anniversary of the publishing house. The complete Urtext edition of the "Préludes op. 28", which includes the "Prélude op. 45" (BA09610), offers Chopin's own fingerings and those of his pupils as well as historically informed fingerings and notes on historical performance practice, in particular on the use of the pedal, ornamentation, "Überlegato" or "Legatissimo", latent polyphony (Cantilene), dynamics, rubato and tempo.
