Key Features of the Edition: - An introductory essay in English, German and French examiningthe historical background, compositional features and performance practice issues - The identification of, and adherence to, a single principal source - A detailed and comprehensive critical commentary - Chopin's authentic fingerings only - Emphasis placed on retaining expressive features of the original notation - Appendices containing earlier versions of the Preludes in G Major and A-flat Major - Notes on the editorial principles and methodology guiding the whole project.
'Most important, the editors used Chopin autographs as the primary source for the posthumously published waltzes and not the Fontana edition....The preface by Christoph Grabowski includes new information about the Waltzes....The music is notable for its inclusion of a composite version of, Op. 64, No. 1 and the separate variants of several other waltzes.'--Clavier (March 2008)
