Description

The 24 Preludes, one in each major and minor key, are among Chopin's most masterful works. Ranging from miniatures for intermediate-level students to lengthier works for advanced pianists, the Preludes were written in a monastery during the winter of 1839. The preface to this historically informed edition contains a thorough discussion of pedaling, tempo, ornamentation and rubato in Chopin's piano music in general and the preludes specifically.

Alfred's Graded Standard Piano Repertoire is compiled and edited by master teachers who are skilled in understanding the best learning sequences for students. Alfred Masterwork Editions feature clear engravings with valuable editorial suggestions that are easily distinguished from the composer’s original markings. Here are some things that can be expected of an Alfred Masterworks edition:

  • Suggested realizations for ornaments
  • Guidelines for interpretation
  • History of the composer/piece
