Chopin
published his Scherzi
nos. 1 3 at more-or-less
regular intervals, in
1835, 1837 and 1840
almost as if he'd planned
them in advance. He
published his fourth and
final work in this genre
after a further three
years, in 1843. When
compared with its
predecessors, which were
largely bleak in mood,
this Scherzo no. 4 is
surprisingly cheerful.
With its sparkling runs
and its chains of chords
like dappled brush
strokes, this work seems
to summon up the
fairy-like spirit of
Mendelssohn's scherzi. In
editorial terms, however,
it is problematical.
Three parallel first
editions were published
in Germany, France and
England and the many
variants between them
have to be investigated
one at a time to
determine their
authenticity. This is a
task that has been solved
meticulously in this
revised, stand-alone
Urtext edition, which
explains the transmission
of this work in an
exemplary, transparent
manner for today's
pianists.
