Chopin: Préludes

Description

Hardly any cycle of piano pieces can match the magnetic attraction of Chopin's "24 Préludes", published in 1839. Schumann called them "sketches, beginnings of études, [...] ruins, stray eagle's pinions, all disorder and wild confusion". An aesthetically presented engraving and practical page-turns make this current edition indispensable for today's scholars and performers
