This finely produced volume, reprinted from the authoritative edition published by Breitkopf & H/irtel of Leipzig, combines Chopin's two piano concertos in one full-score edition. Both the Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 11, and the Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Minor, Op. 21, consummately reveal Chopin's profound understanding of the piano as a dynamic instrument of expression. Over the century and a half since their composition, they have enjoyed wide popularity with pianists,orchestras and their audiences.
Chopin wrote both concerti as vehicles to launch his career as a concert artist.However, he soon abandoned the concert hall for the more intimate atmosphere of the salon, and turned his creative attentions to the brilliant shorter works on which his reputation would ultimately rest. These two luminous compositions remain among his few ventures into the longer and more comprehensive musical forms.They are filled with extended stretches of brilliant passagework and deeply affecting moments of tender and passionate expressiveness, qualities that have made them irresistible to generations of concert pianists and concertgoers. This volume offers musicians and lovers of great music a unique opportunity to study Chopin's individual scoring for piano and orchestra, and to savor the pleasures of listening, score in hand, to live and recorded performances of these two powerful works. |
