Ballades, Sonatas Chopin
This is an excellent edition. The fingering is good and the pieces are complete, a better alternative to the ridiculously expensive Urtext editions.

Chopin is the best school
Listening to Chopin's music is one of life's greatest pleasures. Following along with the score enhances the experience. Trying to play the more difficult pieces is humbling. But no one with any music in their soul should miss the opportunities presented by all three.

Truly Astounding Pieces
I absolutely love almost all of the pieces included in this book. The 3rd and 4th ballades are just breathtaking, the fantasie-impromptu is brilliantly beautiful, and the B-flat minor sonata is incredible (the first movement is the best). A wonderful book.

Wonderful
The Dover Editions of Chopin's music are absolutely incredible. The music is wonderfully spaced, allowing for much room for notes, fingerings, and other things. Each edition also has a forward by Carl Mikuli, one of Chopin's students who edited many of his works. Pick up every volume of these. For under $80 you cant go wrong.
