Cortot edition of Chopin Scherzi
on: February 10, 2013, 09:19:55 AM
Does anyone have this edition in English? If you know where to get it, and informed me, I would be just as happy.

Thank

Unfortunately not. I searched really hard but French seems to be the only option available.

I went to the Salabert website (they are the publishers and own the rights):
https://www.durand-salabert-eschig.com/english/
Here's what they have in English (downloadable PDF document):
https://www.durand-salabert-eschig.com/formcat/depliants/cortot.pdf
No Scherzos/Scherzi there. The nocturnes seem to be available.

P.S.: If you are interested in how I got that PDF document, follow me:
Pick "Composers and repertoire" to the left.
Pick "Other brochures" and you get this page:
https://www.durand-salabert-eschig.com/english/catalogues_genre.php?act=9
Scroll down until you see the category "Brochures".

Why doesn't somebody from Editions Durant / Salabert translate the Cortot Chopin editions into English?

They're french. That would be almost treason!
