Description

The Sonatas, Op. 35 and 58 by Fryderyk Chopin are considered some of the most challenging pieces in the composer's piano repertoire. This volume presents the Sonata in B-flat minor, Op. 35, composed in 1839, and the Sonata in B minor, Op. 58, composed in 1844. The National Edition of Chopin's works, published by Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne, aims to present the composer's complete output in its authentic form, using a range of sources including autographs, copies, and pupils' copies with Chopin's annotations. The publication of Chopin's works is the result of a laborious task that took years to complete. The editors, Jan Ekier and Pawel Kaminski, have used up-to-date scientific and musicological methodology to analyze the available sources and make editorial decisions. The volume includes a Performance Commentary, which provides guidance on the realization of ornaments, pedal markings, and performance techniques such as the "harmonic legato". This bilingual edition, published in 2013, is a valuable resource for pianists and musicologists seeking to perform Chopin's music with accuracy and authenticity.
