Works
by Chopin—Facsimile Edition, A
/II/25/4. Warsaw, 2016. Oblong, 30 x
24 cm, 2 vols, 4, 47 pp. The The Etude
in A Minor was published with the
whole cycle in October 1837, almost
simultaneously by three publishers:
Maurice Schlesinger in Paris,
Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig and
Wessel in London. The present
full-color facsimile is based on the
manuscript Rés 50 (2), Bibliothèque de
l'Opéra; we know from engraver’s
markings showng the exact division
into pages and systems that it served
as the Stichvorlage for the
Schlesinger edition. The pages of the
Etude show a significant number of
minor corrections; these might
indicate haste on the composer's part
resulting in slips in the notation.
Before the final resolution to an A
major chord in bar 65 a whole bar was
deleted—could this indicate that
Chopin meant to replace some notes
before that chord? Commentary
(Pol-Eng-Ger-Sp-Fr-Jp) by Irena
Poniatowska. Bound in blue linen, with
matching slipcase. $76 (view other
volumes from this series)
