Description

Chopin's 24 Preludes, each in a different major or minor key, are considered among his most masterful compositions. Ranging from brief pieces suitable for intermediate-level students to more substantial works for advanced pianists, the Preludes were written during the winter of 1839 while the composer was staying in a monastery. This historically informed edition includes a thorough preface that discusses the use of pedaling, tempo, ornamentation, and rubato in Chopin's piano music, with a specific focus on the Preludes.
