Musical Greetings from Piano Street"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/p>\n

The most popular composer among Piano Street’s members is Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin. As a holiday gift to our members and the piano playing world, we have prepared piano scores of two of his masterpieces, in two different editions each.<\/p>\n

Farewell music?<\/h3>\n

Do you know which compositions Chopin selected for his own funeral?
\nAlong with Mozart’s Requiem this short but remarkable composition is one of them. With this piece, let us introduce our new concept intended for the beginner\/intermediate pianists: the “Piano Street Instructive Edition” (PSI). To be used as a compliment to the clean Urtext version the PSI guides you through the composition with practice tips, performance suggestions and clarifications. <\/p>\n

Free downloads of Chopin Prelude in E minor, Op. 28 no. 4:
\nPiano Street Instructive Edition<\/a>
\nPiano Street Urtext<\/a><\/p>\n

Sweeping brilliance, saved from the fire<\/h3>\n

Among this year’s many notable events and advancements for Piano Street, one is the publication of a new edition and an article about Fantaisie-Impromptu in the Chopin Foundation of the United States’ most recent journal.<\/p>\n

Chopin’s Fantaisie-Impromptu is a technically difficult but also very fun piece to play, and it’s easy to see why it’s among Chopin’s most famous and popular works. It has an interesting story based on the fact that Chopin did not want the piece published at all. Early next year we will publish an article and video here on the blog, explaining the difference of the two main characters in this story, the “Autograph version” and the “Fontana version”.
\nBut for now, stay sharp during the holidays by using your analytical skills to examine them yourself or simply enjoy playing the new, rather different Autograph version of Chopin’s Fantaisie-Impromptu.<\/p>\n

New publications from Piano Street, available for free until January 12 2014:<\/em>
\nFantaisie-Impromptu – Autograph Version<\/a>
\nFantaisie-Impromptu – Fontana Version<\/a><\/p>\n

For detailed information about the different versions, see this page<\/a>.
