Chopin Etudes, edited my Hugo Riemann

on: April 21, 2013, 06:52:26 PM

I've been looking all over for these. I know musicologist Dr. Hugo Riemann has edited the Chopin etudes in his own, totally unique style, as seen in the book Chopin: The Man and his Music by James Huneker, but I can't find any source for those editions? Does anyone know anything about this?

They were published with the preludes in 1890 by Steingräber. A few libraries have copies--you might be able to arrange an interlibrary loan.

Thanks, it's good to know it actually exists! Seems strange that there's not a single copy online floating around.

Edit: Do you know what it's called? I can't find it even in the NY city public library system.

It's listed as 41 Etüden und Präludien für Pianoforte in Worldcat--two libraries in the US list it:

St. Johns University in MN
St. Louis Public Library
