This volume presents easy pieces for piano by great virtuosos. It unites the two greatest, and perhaps best-known, pianists of the 19th century, Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt. The technical requirements of these works are very moderate without muting the stylistic characteristics of these two composers. The ability to play an original composition by Liszt in the first years of lessons can be very motivating for the piano student. Also featured in this collection are works by the virtuoso Ferdinand Hiller, to whom Robert Schumann dedicated his Piano Concerto. As in many of the works by Liszt and Chopin, Hiller's works are frequently reminiscent of folk music. His Irländisches Lied and Fandango, included in the collection, are fine examples of 19th-century 'world music'. / Piano

Frédéric Chopin is known worldwide as one of the leading musicians of the Romantic era. This collection of Mazurkas features all 57 of the Polish virtuoso pianist?s works written inthis genre for the solo Piano. Chopin started composing his mazurkas in 1825 and continued composing them until 1849 the year of his death. His Mazurkas while originating in the Polish dance(the ?mazurek?) differ from the traditional variety in that they were written for the concert hall rather than the dance hall so that it was Chopin who put the mazurka on the European musical map. Thesemazurkas signalled new ideas of nationalism and influenced and inspired other composers to support their national music.

The comments at the end of the volume give detailed information about the sources and their deviations and an appendix with the firstversions of certain works is also included. Most of the pieces are quite brief and thus perfect for any skilled pianist?s repertoire.

Edition : Jan Ekier Paweł Kamiński Chopin composed his ''Mazurkas'' continuously from 1825 to 1849. The half-utilitarian genre was a point of departure, gradually becoming a form of meditative lyricism - the most personal statement of expression. Chopin's ''Mazurkas'' present a number of specific performance problems resulting from such causes as the diversity of individual mazurkas, their collection in opus groups by Chopin and his drawing inspiration from dance forms of Polish folk music. Volume No. 4 contains 43 mazurkas. Of the variants in musical notation, those designated ''ossia'' were marked in this way by Chopin himself or inscribed in his hand in pupils' copies, while those without this indication result from textual divergences in authentic copies or from difficulties in reading the text in an unambiguous way. - Mazurka in F sharp minor Op. 6 No. 1 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 6 No. 2 - Mazurka in E major Op. 6 No. 3 - Mazurka in E flat minor Op. 6 No. 4 - Mazurka in C major Op. 6 No. 5 - Mazurka in B flat major Op. 7 No. 1 - Mazurka in A minor Op. 7 No. 2 - Mazurka in F minor Op. 7 No. 3 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 7 No. 4 - Mazurka in B flat major Op. 17 No. 1 - Mazurka in E minor Op. 17 No. 2 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 17 No. 3 - Mazurka in A minor Op. 17 No. 4 - Mazurka in G minor Op. 24 No. 1 - Mazurka in C major Op. 24 No. 2 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 24 No. 3 - Mazurka in B flat minor Op. 24 No. 4 - Mazurka in C minor Op. 30 No. 1 - Mazurka in B minor Op. 30 No. 2 - Mazurka in D flat major Op. 30 No. 3 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 30 No. 4 - Mazurka in G sharp minor Op. 33 No. 1 - Mazurka in C major Op. 33 No. 2 - Mazurka in D major Op. 33 No. 3 - Mazurka in B minor Op. 33 No. 4 - Mazurka in E minor Op. 41 No. 1 - Mazurka in B major Op. 41 No. 2 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 41 No. 3 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 41 No. 4 - Mazurka in A minor Dbop. 42A - Mazurka in A minor Dbop. 42B - Mazurka in G major Op. 50 No. 1 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 50 No. 2 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 50 No. 3 - Mazurka in B major Op. 56 No. 1 - Mazurka in C major Op. 56 No. 2 - Mazurka in C minor Op. 56 No. 3 - Mazurka in A minor Op. 59 No. 1 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 59 No. 2 - Mazurka in F sharp minor Op. 59 No. 3 - Mazurka in B major Op. 63 No. 1 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 63 No. 3
