Fantasy in F Minor, Barcarolle, Berceuse and Other Works for Solo Piano (Dover Classical Piano Music)

Decent book for miscellanous Chopin pieces
It contained fingerings and has a sewn binding.It has the famous pieces like Barcarolle, Bercuese, Fantaisie etc.Unfoetunately it doesn't contain the Grand Polonaise Brillante op 22 which is a bit misleading. Only has the Andante Spinato part.The printing of the music wasn't the best, but still readable.

The best
My children all play Chopin ... I am not talented enough or maybe I just don't have time to learn ... but they say these are the best books.Although having it spiral bound would be better, it's wonderful to have these resources used at great prices!! For the songs that get played over and over again we either copy them or rip the binding out of the book. Of course it could be taken to a professional book binder to have it spiral bound but we try to do things as frugally as possible.Great buy!!

It's Chopin!
Good quality binding in an easily readable (but certainly dated) type.

Good value
Good value but i believe in spiral bound at this thickness. Who likes pages closing while you play? Love the Berceuse.

Recommand these landmark edition of Chopin's music
I adore Chopin's music. I own a Chopin's Complete Works for Solo Piano on CD. But I still buy these Carl Muliki's landmark edition. There are many editions of Chopin's music. They are different from one another in many passages and fingerings. I bought this edition because they are edited by Chopin's long time pupil, later, his teaching assistant, Carl Mikuli (1819-1897) - Polish pianist, composer, conductor and teacher. Also helped by many Chopin's faithful pupils and beloved friends. As Mikuli said in the Forward: "This edition would succeed in restoring the authentic text and in making further mutilation(of Chopin's music) forever impossible, ......I must note here that the fingering of this edition comes in large part from Chopin himself, where it does not, .... in the editor's opinion." -- I had some Chopin's music edited by Rafael Joseffy, like "Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2", also by Dover Publication, which I did not like that much. The fingering did not works for me.The following is a list of Chopin's Works in the Carl Mikuli Edition by Dover Publication. Each one is about 200 pages, not too thick, sturdily bond, can endure years of use. And the price is very reasonable.Complete Preludes and Etudes: Preludes - moods in miniature Etudes - new school of pianismComplete Ballades, Impromptu & Sonatas: Ballades - poetic legendary dramas Impromptu - unrestrained feelings Sonatas: classical currentsFantasy in F minor, Barcarolle, Berceuse and Other Works.Nocturnes and Polonaises Nocturnes - night and its melancholy mysteries Polonaises - heroic hymns of the battleWaltzes and Scherzos Waltzes - dance of the soul and not of the body. Scherzos - Chopin's own creations, not Beethoven type's Scherzi.Mazurkas: dance of the soul, divine coquetries.Many famous pianists had made recordings in complete Etudes and Preludes, Ballades, Impromptus, Mazurkas, Nocturnes, Polonaises, Scherzi and Waltzes and Other Works. You can do a search to find out your favorite pianist's recordings and listen to it along with the scores. Enjoy listening and practicing Chopin's music!

Lesser known pieces of Chopin, some gorgeous music
Chopin's music is usually published by category--i.e. Mazurkas, Polonaises, Walzes, Etudes, etc. There are a number of works that don't fit into any of these categories such as the glorious and technically horrific Berceuse and the surprisingly easy to read but showy Tarentelle--not only gorgeous but a good exercise for technical proficiency.This book is worth having just for the Berceuse and Tarantella, and also for the Barcarolle, another brilliant and showy work that is all too rarely played. This is a great addition to any piano music library, especially if you adore Chopin. Easy to read edition, clear print.

Difficulty keeping the score open
This score is printed in a satisfactory manner. However it has been, so far, impossible to keep it open at the designated page even though I have repeatedly folded it. It will remain open for a few page turns, for example, of the Barcarolle but then becomes difficult to turn without stopping to fold the score again. I've been a pianist for 65 years and have used many many different editions of scores. Rarely have I encountered such an annoying issue.

Ottimo volume.
Bellissimo libro contenente diversi lavori di Chopin tra i meno conosciuti. La carta, l'inchiostro e gli spartiti sono, a mio avviso, di ottima qualità' solita di Dover. Pienamente soddisfatto e consigliato a tutti gli amanti di Chopin.
