Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Schirmer Performance Editions). Schirmer Performance Editions are designed for piano students and their teachers as well as for professional pianists. Pedagogical in nature, these editions offer insightful interpretive suggestions, pertinent fingering, and historical and stylistic commentary. Prepared by renowned artists/teachers, these publications provide an accurate, well-informed score resource for pianists. The name Frederic Chopin (1810-1849) is synonymous with the piano. Indeed, every one of his compositions includes the instrument. His Preludes , several of which are of only moderate difficulty, show superb polish and inventive detail. Shaped by the tastes of the Parisian aristocratic salon, these pieces make the most of a pianist's technical and musical abilities, both in passages of virtuosity and in the variety of possibilities for emotional expression. Includes audio recordings. Editor & recording artist: Brian Ganz

Download or read book Chopin s Piano written by Paul Kildea and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 1838 Frédéric Chopin, George Sand and her two children sailed to Majorca to escape the Parisian winter. They settled in an abandoned monastery at Valldemossa in the mountains above Palma, where Chopin finished what would eventually be recognised as one of the great and revolutionary works of musical Romanticism - his 24 Preludes. There was scarcely a decent piano on the island (these were still early days in the evolution of the modern instrument), so Chopin worked on a small pianino made by a local craftsman, which remained in their monastic cell for seventy years after he and Sand had left. This brilliant and unclassifiable book traces the history of Chopin's 24 Preludes through the instruments on which they were played, the pianists who interpreted them and the traditions they came to represent. Yet it begins and ends with the Majorcan pianino, which during the Second World War assumed an astonishing cultural potency as it became, for the Nazis, a symbol of the man and music they were determined to appropriate as their own. The unexpected hero of the second part of the book is the great keyboard player and musical thinker Wanda Landowska, who rescued the pianino from Valldemossa in 1913, and who would later become one of the most influential musical figures of the twentieth century. Kildea shows how her story - a compelling account based for the first time on her private papers - resonates with Chopin's, while simultaneously distilling part of the cultural and political history of Europe and the United States in the central decades of the century. Kildea's beautifully interwoven narratives, part cultural history and part detective story, take us on an unexpected journey through musical Romanticism and allow us to reflect freshly on the changing meaning of music over time.

Book excerpt: Chopin's 24 Preludes, Op. 28, are a set of short pieces for the piano, one in each of the twenty-four keys, originally published in 1839.Chopin wrote them between 1835 and 1839, partly at Valldemossa, Mallorca, where he spent the winter of 1838-39 and where he had fled with George Sand and her children to escape the damp Paris weather. The manuscript, which Chopin carefully prepared for publication, carries a dedication to the German pianist and composer Joseph Christoph Kessler. The French and English editions (Catelin, Wessel) were dedicated to the piano-maker and publisher Camille Pleyel, who had commissioned the work for 2,000 francs (equivalent to nearly $30,000 in present day). The German edition (Breitkopf & Härtel) was dedicated to Kessler, who ten years earlier had dedicated his own set of 24 Preludes, Op. 31, to Chopin.Whereas the term "prelude" had hitherto been used to describe an introductory piece, Chopin's pieces stand as self-contained units, each conveying a specific idea or emotion. He thus imparted new meaning to a genre title that at the time was often associated with improvisatory "preluding". In publishing the 24 preludes together as a single opus, comprising miniatures that could either be used to introduce other music or as self-standing works, Chopin challenged contemporary attitudes regarding the worth of small musical forms.Chopinowskie 24 Preludia op. 28, to zbiór krótkich utworów na fortepian, wydanych po raz pierwszy w 1839 roku. Chopin pisal je między 1835 i 1839 roku, częściowo w Valldemossa na Majorce, gdzie spędzil zimę 1838-39 z George Sand i jej dziecmi, uciekając z Paryża przed wilgotną pogodą. Rękopis, który Chopin starannie przygotowal do publikacji, zawiera dedykację dla niemieckiego pianisty i kompozytora Josepha Christopha Kesslera. Wydania francuskie i angielskie (Catelin, Wessel) byly dedykowane twórcy fortepianów i wydawcy Camille Pleyelowi, który zamówil to dzielo za 2000 franków (równowartośc prawie 30 000 dolarów obecnie). Wydanie niemieckie (Breitkopf & Härtel) bylo dedykowane Kesslerowi, który dziesięc lat wcześniej zadedykowal wlasny zestaw 24 Preludiów op. 31, Chopinowi. O ile do tej pory na określenie utworu wprowadzającego używano terminu "preludium", utwory Chopina stanowią samodzielne jednostki, z których każdy przekazuje określoną ideę lub emocje . W ten sposób nadal nowe znaczenie tytulowi gatunku, który w tamtych czasach byl często kojarzony z improwizacyjnym "preludium". Wydając razem 24 preludia jako jeden opus, skladający się z miniatur, które mogą byc użyte do wprowadzenia innej muzyki lub jako samodzielne utwory, Chopin rzucil wyzwanie wspólczesnym postawom dotyczącym wartości malych form muzycznych.

Download or read book A Reader s Guide to the Chopin Preludes written by Jeffrey Kresky and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1994-06-22 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Chopin's set of 24 interconnected Preludes (Op. 28), we are presented with 24 distinct compositional surfaces, aiming at as many distinguishable emotional expressions. As such, the Preludes stand as a virtual survey of the developing musical manners of the 19th century, the stylistic period in which "mood" was promoted most energetically and frankly. Under separate analytic investigation, the technical means to these expressive ends can be discovered and assessed; yet, at the same time, the Preludes can be studied as a total entity, related by precise balances of mood and key, as well as certain subtler interconnecting details. This book is a detailed guide through the Preludes, both individually and as a group.
