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.
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

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.

Dang.  Did I pick just the wrong piece here?  There's no National Edition for this?

You just can't buy that item though?
