Rafael Joseffy

"The fingerings suggested by Joseffy are magnificent: technically correct, imaginative and elegant. I find it frankly incredible that one of your reviewers should find them poor and unhelpful. I would suggest that he persists: just look at the fingerings to Preludes 13 and 15 as examples - the music seems to play itself if these are adopted."

A worthwhile collection to have.

"Chopin was commissioned to produce a set of pieces, and this Prelude collection was the result. It's a complete collection, and most of the songs are above intermediate in skill level. Most people should be familiar with Prelude in E Minor (page 4 if I recall correctly). A very timeless piece."

Love chopin--hate jossefy

"Jossefy is the worse possible editorer i have ever witnessed. Its actually laughable the fingerings he suggests. He didnt help me at all in what i think is the hardest prelude, the 24th one. I love schirmers (even though many do not) but i would suggest another editor, although i dont think schirmers has another editor. i would reccomend chopin preludes to ANYONE!!"

The essence of Chopin in one opus

"There is so much to appreciate about Chopin in these beautiful pieces. The fingerwork for most of them is complex, yet each prelude allows the player to explore a different and very satisfying range of personal feeling and emotion. "

Fantastic

"A must for any piano player. Some of them are easier to learn (no. 4, 6, 20 for example) others are almost impossible unless you are a really advanced player (which I am not). "

Little gems

"these are very fun to learn. Short... most are 1-2 pages. Every one exposes a new aspect of Chopin's genius. I have the Padrewski version, which is a nicer book and [allegedly] has better fingering, etc."
