This volume contains parts for violin, viola and cello.The National Edition of the Works of Fryderyk ChopinPublished by PWMExclusively Distributed by Hal Leonard CorporationCo-EditorsJan Ekier and Pawel KaminskiThe objective of the National Edition is to present Chopin's complete output in its authentic form, based on the entire body of available sources. Sources were analyzed with up-to-date scientific and musicological methodology.The National Edition was based on sources originated from the composer, mainly autographs, copies of autographs and first editions with the composer's corrections, and pupils' copies with Chopin's annotations. In cases when original sources were lacking, the closest possible materials were used. Collecting the source materials was a laborious task which took years of effort.The characteristics of sources, the links and discrepancies between them as well as the reasons for particular editorial decisions are discussed in the Source Commentary in each volume.The Performance Commentary appended to each volume includes: the realization of ornaments, comments on pedal markings (the original markings sometimes are inadequate, due to the difference in sound between pianos used in Chopin`s times and modern pianos), suggestions as to the 'harmonic legato? (a performance technique often used by Chopin and now forgotten). / Violon, Violoncelle Et Piano

Frédéric Chopin composa son trio de piano quand il avait 18 ans, étudiant. À propos de la performance du trio le 31 Août 1830, il écrit: 'Le dimanche, nous avons répété le trio. Peut-être parce que je n'ai pas entendu parler pendant un moment, j'étais très heureux avec moi-même (l'homme chanceux!) 'Par ailleurs, Robert Schumann a également partagé cette opinion, écrivant dans une revue: '. N'est-ce pas aussi noble que possible, plus plein d'enthousiasme que n'importe quelle chanson jamais écrite par un poète, original dans les moindres détails comme dans l'ensemble, chaque note de musique et de la vie? 'Nous sommes d'accord avec ce verdict et recommandent ce trio dans notre nouvelle édition Urtext à tous les amateurs de musique de chambre très romantique. / Trio De Pianos
