La série « The Complete Chopin ? A New Critical Edition » des éditions Peters est fermement établie comme l?édition scientifique actuelle la plus importante de la musique de Chopin et est un must pour tout pianiste averti. Les éditeurs de Chopin les plus éminents au monde, sous la direction de l?éditeur en chef John Rink, apportent leurs connaissances collectives inégalées pour donner au projet une autorité unique, en s'appuyant sur les recherches internationales les plus récentes. « The Complete Chopin » priorise les besoins du pianiste pratique et fournit un texte d'exécution magnifiquement présenté de chaque ?uvre, basé sur une source principale unique ainsi que des variantes de premier rang, ainsi que des commentaires critiques approfondis et une préface éclairante en anglais, français et allemand.

Edition Peters est maintenant ravi de présenter la nouvelle édition de Roy Howat des « Trois Nouvelles Études » de Chopin au sein de « The Complete Chopin ». Publiées à l'origine en 1840 dans la « Méthode des Méthodes » qui regroupait plusieurs compositeurs, les « Trois Nouvelles Études » sont les études les moins ouvertement virtuoses de Chopin, mais sans doute les plus sophistiquées de toutes en termes de formation de la sensibilité du pianiste au son, au rythme et à la texture. Debussy a dit un jour qu'il avait « usé ses doigts » en jouant la deuxième d'entre eux.
180 ans après, il semble extraordinaire que de nouveaux détails puissent encore être trouvés dans les pièces, mais l'édition de Howat en publie certains pour la première fois, notamment un certain nombre de variantes mélodiques dans la première Étude, ainsi que des notes dans la deuxième Étude que toutes les éditions précédentes avaient supprimées. Agissant littéralement comme un pivot dans la structure de la seconde Étude, ces notes authentiques ? restaurées ici avec sensibilité ? modifient notre perception de la texture et de l?harmonisation de la musique au moment où la pièce prend son envol sur l?une des cordes de modulation les plus époustouflantes de Chopin. Notre édition confirme également certains doigtés authentiques encore inconnus de la plupart des pianistes, comme le pouce fantaisiste qui « sautille » sur les touches noires à la fin de la troisième Étude.

Conformément à la procédure éditoriale de cette série, la présente édition est basée sur une source principale, à savoir le manuscrit de Chopin soigneusement préparé pour son ami Moscheles. De plus, certains changements que Chopin a introduits après la publication sont présentés ici comme des variantes, permettant aux pianistes de choisir des options de performance en connaissant sciemment leur origine.

Le concept de travail qui sous-tend la série « The Complete Chopin ? A New Critical Edition » :
« The Complete Chopin » est basé sur deux prémisses clés. Premièrement, il ne peut y avoir de version définitive des ?uvres de Chopin : les variantes font partie intégrante de la musique. Deuxièmement, effectuer une fusion de plusieurs sources ? produisant alors une version de la musique qui n'a jamais vraiment existé ? doit être évité. En conséquence, la procédure de travail des éditeurs consiste à identifier une seule source principale pour chaque ?uvre et à préparer une édition de cette source-là (qu?ils considèrent comme « la meilleure », même si elle ne peut être définitive). Dans le même temps, des variantes importantes provenant d'autres sources autorisées sont reproduites soit à côté soit, dans certains cas, dans le texte principal de la musique, dans les notes de bas de page ou dans le commentaire critique, permettant ainsi des comparaisons savantes et facilitant le choix de l'interprétation. / Partitions classique / Piano - instruments à clavier / Piano / EDITION PETERS

Par CHOPIN FREDERIC. The Complete Chopin ? A New Critical Edition from Edition Peters is firmly established as the most important ongoing scholarly edition of Chopin\'s music and is a must for any discerning pianist. The world?s foremost Chopin editors, under Editor-in-chief John Rink, bring their unrivalled collective knowledge to imbue the project with unique authority, drawing upon the latest international scholarship. The Complete Chopin prioritizes the needs of the practical pianist and provides a beautifully presented performing text of each work based on a single principal source together with important variants, along with thorough critical commentaries and illuminating prefatory essays in English, French and German. Chopin\'s early Nocturne in E-flat major is one of his most popular works. First published in 1832, it has a charming, vocally-inspired melody in the treble with a serenade-like accompaniment in the left hand. Edited by leading Chopin scholar, Christophe Grabowksi, this volume presents two versions of the Nocturne: one based on the most definitive impression of the French first edition released during Chopin?s lifetime, the second a pioneering compilation of all the variants to have flowed from Chopin?s pen after the work was first completed. This second text allows pianists to create their own versions of the Nocturne by combining variants as they wish, thereby drawing inspiration directly from Chopin\'s boundless imagination. Edited by leading Chopin scholar, Christophe Grabowksi, as part of the Edition Peters series The Complete Chopin (series editors: John Rink, Jean-Jacques Eigeldinger, Jim Samson, Christophe Grabowski). Ground-breaking format, presenting both an Urtext reading and a version with all variants attributable to Chopin, allowing pianists to create their own version. / Date parution : 2022-07-28/ Répertoire / Piano

The Notebooks for Anna Magdalena Bach 1722 and 1725 for Piano (Premium Edition)
Hardcover Clothbound with Gold Embossing, Urtext
Johann Sebastian Bach
In 1721 a 20-year-old soprano employed at the princely court in Köthen married the court?s Kapellmeister, set to become the greatest composer of the age. As his second wife she married into a young family with four children, and a busy household filled with music. The music book that Johann Sebastian Bach presented to his new wife Anna Magdalena in 1722, and replaced more lavishly in 1725, treats us to a tantalizing glimpse inside this unique family, allowing us to sit beside Bach as a composer, teacher, husband and father. Over the years, these notebooks became a place for the family to share instructional exercises, favourite pieces ? by Bach and other composers ? to play or sing, early composition efforts from the children, and first versions of some of Bach?s more ambitious keyboard works.
What is usually presented as ?the? Anna Magdalena Notebook is a set of excerpts from the 1725 collection. The scholarship that informed the New Bach Edition in 1957 has been greatly developed and expanded since then.
Now, for the first time, Edition Peters presents a new Urtext edition of the Notebooks for Anna Magdalena Bach.
Contains all the material from the 1722 and 1725 notebooks together in one volume, in the original landscape format
Edited by pre-eminent Bach scholar Christoph Wolff, Harvard Professor and former Director of the Leipzig Bach Archive
Represents the very latest in Bach scholarship, reflecting up-to-the-minute research on texts, authorship and copyists
Extensive preface, detailed critical commentary, and beautifully engraved notation
Hardcover clothbound edition with gold embossing
Printed in Köthen and bound in Leipzig ? the home of Bach and the home of Edition Peters ? this cutting-edge, premium modern edition?s journey to your library retraces the Bach family?s own move from the princely town to the city
This premium edition offers a truly best-in-class publication. / Partitions classique / Piano - instruments à clavier / Piano / EDITION PETERS

Par CHOPIN FREDERIC. The Complete Chopin ? A New Critical Edition from Edition Peters is firmly established as the most important ongoing scholarly edition of Chopin?s music and is a must for any discerning pianist. The world?s foremost Chopin editors, under Editor-in-chief John Rink, bring their unrivalled collective knowledge to imbue the project with unique authority, drawing upon the latest international scholarship. The Complete Chopin prioritizes the needs of the practical pianist and provides a beautifully presented performing text of each work based on a single principal source together with important variants, along with thorough critical commentaries and illuminating prefatory essays in English, French and German. Chopin?s etudes occupy a central position in piano literature. Prized by generations of the greatest pianists as the supreme examples in the genre, their reputation rests on their not only challenging specific aspects of a pianist?s technique, but also for being great music, transcending the genre of mere ?study?. In this edition of opus 10 (the earlier of Chopin?s two sets of studies, ending with the famous \'Revolutionary\' etude), pianist and musicologist Roy Howat presents a new edition which addresses many of the misunderstandings created by a very poorly engraved first French edition (containing errors which were then carried over to the German and English editions) ? an edition which nevertheless included many important revisions made at proof stage. Using this first French edition as a primary source, Howat produces an Urtext edition which, while recording noteworthy variants from a variety of sources, is not a ?conflated? version, but a coherent performing edition in its own right, ideal for all who aspire to play these cornerstones of piano repertoire in an informed way. / Date parution : 2022-09-07/ Recueil / Piano
