Chopinâ??s four ballades four impromptus and three sonatas are among the composerâ??s most mature works rivalled only by his scherzos and polonaises for extended thematic development and formal structure. The eleven compositions in this volume are drawn from Carl Mikuliâ??s comprehensive edition of Chopinâ??s complete works for piano. As Chopinâ??s student and later teaching assistant Mikuli was in a privileged position to reflect on the masterâ??s approach to keyboard performance. The works contained in this volume are complete.

Chopin's special gift was his remarkable ability to transform conventional musical forms into unique and memorable works of art for solo piano. Some are as compact as his fifteen waltzes; some as extended and complex as his four scherzos.Edited by Carl Mikuli
