Chopin revolutionized the etude – but he ennobled the waltz. He spent much time on this genre throughout his life and created a wide spectrum of forms, from virtuosic showpieces – the Grandes Vales Brillantes – to deeply melancholic atmospheric pictures. All these works have one thing in common: one cannot and should not dance to them! Our volume contains all of the waltzes that were published during Chopin's lifetime, or posthumously, including popular masterpieces such as the so-called “Minute Waltz” (op. 64 no. 1). In cases where two authentic versions of the same waltz have been transmitted, we naturally give the Urtext of both versions.

    Beautiful, legible engraving on weighty, cream-colored paper. Pages open and will stay flat. Lots of extra details about origin of the urtext. Fast shipment.

  • May 02, 2011 Rubinstein's version

    This contains the version Rubinstein used for the Aflat Major and b minor waltzes- (have not checked the others), which I had been searching for! There are two versions of four of the waltzes. I also like the fingering and page breaks.

  • August 23, 2007 A Wonderful Edition of Chopin Music

    I am definitely a person who loves the G. Schirmer's edition music for its cheaper price and ease of reading, but for some things I really like to spend the extra money and get the Henle edition. For these Waltzer, it was a good choice. Any Henle music you...

    purchase is so crisp and clean, highly durable and pretty much flawless, so it's something I take pride in. Spending $28 + shipping for a volume that could have cost $12 with Schirmer's could be a choice some would regret, but not me. There are a lot of great editions out there for several composers, but Henle rises above them all.
