Description:
The Sonata in B minor op. 58 (1844) is Chopin's third and most important contribution to this genre. The editors have arrived at a revised reading of the work through a fundamental reassessment of the sources. It is based on the version of the French first edition, which Chopin altered right up to the printing and beyond, and which is presented here for the first time in the Urtext. Some of the most important variants can be found in the first movement (e.g. in m. 96), but also in the Largo and the finale.
A preface (German/English) provides information on the genesis and the complicated source filiation. The new edition is rounded off with practical performance advice from Paul Badura-Skoda, a pioneer of historically-informed playing, and Hardy Rittner, Professor of Piano at the Musikhochschule Freiburg i. Br. and author of a current basic work on Chopin's piano playing published by Bärenreiter (BVK04005). Questions of tempo, ornamentation, pedal use, rubato, cantilena and internal melody are discussed. Paul Badura-Skoda and Hardy Rittner have added their own fingerings to Chopin's original fingerings.
