Waltzes and Scherzos

I inadvertently bought two copies of this, and my piano teacher welcomed the extra--it wasn't worth paying to send the extra back. He's young and very experienced, unlike me--my eyes prefer the creamy Henle paper and clean typography and my clumsy fingers, the easy-to-follow fingering. Also, it's not clear that this Dover edition is the Paderewski edition based on anything in the book--it seems to have been edited by a 19th century Pole, though, just not Paderewski. I did break down and buy the Henle, too, which costs almost three times as much, and doesn't have the Scherzos (which I can't play anyway), but does have two versions of several of the posthumous waltzes.Bottom line: if you aren't spoiled by Henles, this is a good deal, though. The print is crisp enough, and not too cramped like some bargain versions can be.

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!!

I was very glad to be getting this collection for such a reasonable price. The shipping was on time, and the book is great. I was disappointed that the book got bent in the mailbox, but that is nobody's fault really. I definitely want to continue buying scores from here.

Everything about this edition is great. It's easy to read, etc.The only negative thing I would say about this is that sometimes the editing gets a little cumbersome (fingering and pedaling recommendations). And it is never addressed whether the markings are one's the composer wrote, or if they are mere suggestions.Overall, it's great, though!

Chopin is the best! These books are set up very well. The notes are not crammed too closely. I have lots of different kinds of music. I prefer this set up.

Superb edition of the Waltzes (Mikuli) with excellent binging (the Dover Lay Flat Sewn-Binding.) Scherzos are also well edited and formatted. And for the price, you cannot beat this edition. The whole Dover Chopin series should be part of every library.

Solid Book with all 4 of Chopin's Scherzos and a great collection of his waltzes. You get what you pay for here.

It's always nice to get two sets of music in one book. I also like the uniformity of all of the books in this Chopin series.

È una perfetta raccolta di spartiti di Chopin. Sono abbastanza complicati da eseguire al pianoforte, ma non mi lamento dell'acquisto. Ottimo prodotto. Consigliabile per gli amanti della musica classica e per chi ama il compositore polacco Fryderyk Chopin.

excelente

Excellente collection pour les oeuvres de Chopin avec les doigtés et une typographie de qualité. Elle est cependant moins détaillée qu'une Urtext en ce qui concerne les annotations des partitions d'élèves et la reliure est moins pratique qu'une spirale.Prévoir une pince
