A facsimile edition of all of Fryderyk Chopin's music manuscripts Published by The Fryderyk Chopin Institute, |
|
The purpose of this edition is to preserve and disseminate the Fryderyk Chopin legacy in Poland and across the world by reproducing and safeguarding the contents of his manuscripts scattered around the world, make the original Chopin texts accessible for research purposes, enable performance practice to approach as near as possible the composer’s intentions, verify knowledge regarding sources, and to disseminate this knowledge via up-to-date commentaries furnished in six languages: Polish, English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese. A note about the Chopin sources Scholars have long acknowledged the conundrum of the Chopin sources. Although similar to the problems that plague source studies of other composers, i.e., coming to terms with the varying ways in which a work is drafted, prepared for publication, and subsequently revised for successive impressions, the Chopin sources are somewhat different. For example, inadequate or confusing copyright protection among the main European countries during the 19th century compelled Chopin to employ different publishers in France, Germany and England, resulting in three "first editions" of most of the pieces, each being unique as a result of idiosyncratic editorial methods and subsequent compositional revisions. As the Chopin Variorum Edition under the direction of John Rink has summed it up:
