Chopin edition? Fantansie Impromptu

on: May 09, 2020, 11:39:33 PM

I'm thinking about the Fantaisie Impromptu, c minor, Op. 66.

What's the best/correct edition for that?

Or maybe two? Henle if there's Henle and something else that is edited?

Chopin National Edition (Ekier).

There is also Paderewski. Some people don't like the binding. It has been distributed by various printers over the years, and some of them did sew their books in signatures.

Avoid Paderewski - many errors, and doesn't even retain Chopin's fingerings. I would plump for Polish national by Jan Ekier or modern Peters edition, series editor John Rink.
