Frédéric Chopin: Sonata In B Minor Op. 58: Piano

Piano Solo. This authoritative collection of the world's beloved sonatas and sonatinas for solo piano will provide the pianist with a lifetime of playing pleasure. The sonata repertoire offered here is rich and varied and presents each selection in its complete and original form.

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.

Published posthumously in 1855 the Fantaisie Impromptu In C# Minor Op. Post.66 is one of Chopin???s most frequently performed and popular compositions.There was initially some mystery surroundingthe piece and why Chopin never published it during his lifetime. James Huneker trying to explain why the piece was not published calls parts of it 'mawkish' and 'without nobility' whilst Ernst Oster writes that atechnical exploration would show why Chopin did not publish the work and that exploration shows that the Fantaisie-Impromptu and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata ('Quasi una fantasia') are related.Themystery may have been solved in 1960 when pianist Arthur Rubinstein acquired the 'Album of the Baroness d'Este' which had been sold at auction in Paris. The album contained a manuscript of the Fantaisie-Impromptu written in Chopin's own hand and dated 1835. The title page for the manuscript states that the piece was 'Composed for the Baroness d'Este by Fr?d?ric Chopin' and from this Rubinstein surmises that the words 'Composedfor' in place of a dedication imply that Chopin received a paid commission for the work.This Henle Urtext Edition for solo Piano has been edited by Ewald Zimmermann and includes fingering by Hans-MartinTheopold.
