Par CHOPIN FREDERIC. Les musiques de Nuit instrumentales du XVIIIe siècle, destinées à être jouées en plein air, sont à l'origine du Nocturne. Mozart et Haydn ont composé des 'Notturni' pour divers ensembles. Cependant, John Field est considéré comme le créateur du Nocturne pour piano. Chopin le tenait en grande estime et faisait souvent travailler à ses élèves les Nocturnes de ce pianiste et compositeur irlandais au même titre que les siens pour qu'ils se familiarisent avec le 'legato' et qu'ils acquièrent un beau son. Frédéric Chopin compose 21 Nocturnes. L'année de composition de chaque Nocturne ne peut pas toujours être certifiée avec précision mais celle de leur publication est une référence exacte. Trois Nocturnes ont été édités après sa mort. Chopin a l'âme romantique et la musique de ses Nocturnes en exprime les états. L'ambiance crépusculaire est en effet propice aux tendres épanchements, à la mélancolie, aux improvisations poétiques et musicales, comme le dialogue de la Muse et du Poète dans la Nuit de Mai d'Alfred de Musset. Tout en conservant une forme classique (forme Lied A.B.A. généralement), Chopin s'éloigne de la romance et sublimise le Nocturne par son inspiration et son sens pianistique: la mélodie, influencée par le 'bel canto' italien est plus ample et se développe en variations ornementales expressives, souvent chromatiques - l'harmonie est plus raffinée et plus audacieuse par ses dissonances et les dessins d'accompagnement de la basse en forme d'arpèges ou d'accords brisés sont plus ingénieux. Les Nocturnes de Chopin ont beaucoup contribué à sa célébrité et, malgré les difficultés techniques de certains, ils apparaissent comme une bonne introduction à la connaissance et à l'étude de ses autres oeuvres.

Edition : Jan Ekier Paweł KamińskiChopin composed his ''Mazurkas'' continuously from 1825 to 1849. The half-utilitarian genre was a point of departure, gradually becoming a form of meditative lyricism - the most personal statement of expression. Chopin's ''Mazurkas'' present a number of specific performance problems resulting from such causes as the diversity of individual mazurkas, their collection in opus groups by Chopin and his drawing inspiration from dance forms of Polish folk music. Volume No. 4 contains 43 mazurkas. Of the variants in musical notation, those designated ''ossia'' were marked in this way by Chopin himself or inscribed in his hand in pupils' copies, while those without this indication result from textual divergences in authentic copies or from difficulties in reading the text in an unambiguous way. - Mazurka in F sharp minor Op. 6 No. 1 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 6 No. 2 - Mazurka in E major Op. 6 No. 3 - Mazurka in E flat minor Op. 6 No. 4 - Mazurka in C major Op. 6 No. 5 - Mazurka in B flat major Op. 7 No. 1 - Mazurka in A minor Op. 7 No. 2 - Mazurka in F minor Op. 7 No. 3 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 7 No. 4 - Mazurka in B flat major Op. 17 No. 1 - Mazurka in E minor Op. 17 No. 2 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 17 No. 3 - Mazurka in A minor Op. 17 No. 4 - Mazurka in G minor Op. 24 No. 1 - Mazurka in C major Op. 24 No. 2 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 24 No. 3 - Mazurka in B flat minor Op. 24 No. 4 - Mazurka in C minor Op. 30 No. 1 - Mazurka in B minor Op. 30 No. 2 - Mazurka in D flat major Op. 30 No. 3 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 30 No. 4 - Mazurka in G sharp minor Op. 33 No. 1 - Mazurka in C major Op. 33 No. 2 - Mazurka in D major Op. 33 No. 3 - Mazurka in B minor Op. 33 No. 4 - Mazurka in E minor Op. 41 No. 1 - Mazurka in B major Op. 41 No. 2 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 41 No. 3 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 41 No. 4 - Mazurka in A minor Dbop. 42A - Mazurka in A minor Dbop. 42B - Mazurka in G major Op. 50 No. 1 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 50 No. 2 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 50 No. 3 - Mazurka in B major Op. 56 No. 1 - Mazurka in C major Op. 56 No. 2 - Mazurka in C minor Op. 56 No. 3 - Mazurka in A minor Op. 59 No. 1 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 59 No. 2 - Mazurka in F sharp minor Op. 59 No. 3 - Mazurka in B major Op. 63 No. 1 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 63 No. 3

The Mazurka is a traditional dance from Mazoria an old Kingdom of Poland that Chopin was native to. He has made great use of the folk music of this region and they are characterised by subtle changes in the unusual rhythm varied melodic colour and demonstrate his vast range of compositional ability. Ranging from brief and vigorous dances to deep and complex extended works they are each very individual with a unique character. Either slow or fast the dance was generally performed by a large company in the manner of a village or folk dance. This fantastic edition contains 51 of Chopin's fantastic Mazurkas set here for Piano solo.

Media Type : Book Level : Intermediate Musical Genre : Classic Number of pages : 256 This collection presents, for the first time, the complete Mazurkas of Frederic Chopin arranged for solo classical guitar. The Mazurka is the only form the composer embraced throughout his lifetime. The distinctive and personal pieces are unimaginably varied and colorful, ranging from brief and vigorous dances to deep and complex extended works. Always achingly melodic and featuring surprising harmonies not evident in his other compositions, the Mazurkas are a true monument to Chopin's genius. These new arrangements were prepared with rigorous fidelity to the originals, while never sacrificing true playability. Careful attention to every detail of execution combined with thorough notes on each piece and the folk dance tradition that inspired them to make this unique offering truly user-friendly. Musically beautiful, idiomatic and accessible, this monumental collection is a breathtaking addition to the guitar repertoire. Written in standard notation only.
