Book excerpt: As editor of the Guardian, one of the world's foremost newspapers, Alan Rusbridger abides by the relentless twenty-four-hour news cycle. But increasingly in midlife, he feels the gravitational pull of music—especially the piano. He sets himself a formidable challenge: to fluently learn Chopin's magnificent Ballade No. 1 in G minor, arguably one of the most difficult Romantic compositions in the repertory. With pyrotechnic passages that require feats of memory, dexterity, and power, the piece is one that causes alarm even in battle-hardened concert pianists. He gives himself a year. Under ideal circumstances, this would have been a daunting task. But the particular year Rusbridger chooses turns out to be one of frenetic intensity. As he writes in his introduction, "Perhaps if I'd known then what else would soon be happening in my day job, I might have had second thoughts. For it would transpire that, at the same time, I would be steering the Guardian through one of the most dramatic years in its history." It was a year that began with WikiLeaks' massive dump of state secrets and ended with the Guardian's revelations about widespread phone hacking at News of the World. "In between, there were the Japanese tsunami, the Arab Spring, the English riots . . . and the death of Osama Bin Laden," writes Rusbridger. The test would be to "nibble out" twenty minutes per day to do something totally unrelated to the above. Rusbridger's description of mastering the Ballade is hugely engaging, yet his subject is clearly larger than any one piece of classical music. Play It Again deals with focus, discipline, and desire but is, above all, about the sanctity of one's inner life in a world dominated by deadlines and distractions. What will you do with your twenty minutes?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chopin's four ballades are widely regarded as being amongst the most significant extended works for solo piano of the nineteenth century. In an illuminating discussion, Jim Samson combines history and analysis to provide the reader with a comprehensive picture of these popular piano works. He begins by investigating the social and musical background to Chopin's unique style. He describes the manuscript sources and evaluates the many subsequent printed editions, then considers the critical reception of the ballades and the differing interpretations of well-known nineteenth- and twentieth-century pianists. The final two chapters examine the music of all four works analytically. There is a clearly presented formal synopsis of each ballade in turn, followed by a discussion of the works collectively which explores Chopin's own conception of the title 'ballade' and how it may be understood as a musical genre.

This book was released on 2018-05-13 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; This book contains 98 works of the great Polish composer Frederic Chopin. It is the first of 3 volumes of the complete works of his and is comprised mainly of scans of pre 1923 sheet music by various music publishers containing original copyright references. Overall it's a warts and all (although we have cleaned up and digitally enhanced as much as possible) reproduction of some very old manuscripts so there are some minor printing imperfections owing to the age and quality of these original manuscripts. There are also some recent 2018 editions type-set and copyright by Ironpower Publishing. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; We have endeavored to put together in three volumes the most complete collection of Chopin's sheet music available. Contained within this first volume are 4 Ballades, 27 Etudes, 21 Nocturnes, 27 Preludes, and 19 Waltzes which highlight the brilliance of Chopin. There is a detailed 25 page biography of the life and times of Frederic Chopin at the beginning. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; The book is then divided into 5 sections each containing a specific category of Chopin's catalogue of music:- nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;· Ballades nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;· Etudes nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;· Nocturnes nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;· Preludes nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;· Waltzes nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Here's a list of all the 98 musical compositions included:- Ballade No. 1 in G. minor, Op. 23 Ballade No. 2, Op. 38 Ballade No. 3, Op. 47 Ballade No. 4, Op. 52 Etude in F minor No. 1 Etude in A-flat major No. 2 Etude in D-flat major No. 3 Etude in C major, Op. 10, No. 1 Etude in A minor, Op. 10, No. 2 Etude in C-sharp minor, Op. 10, No. 4 Etude in G-flat major, Op. 10, No. 5 Etude in E-flat minor, Op. 10, No. 6 Etude in C major, Op. 10, No. 7 Etude in F major, Op. 10, No. 8 Etude in F minor, Op. 10, No. 9 Etude in A-flat major, Op. 10, No. 10 Etude in E-flat major, Op. 10, No. 11 Etude in C minor, Op. 10, No. 12 Etude in A-flat major, Op. 25, No. 1 Etude in F minor, Op. 25, No. 2 Etude in F major, Op. 25, No. 3 Etude in A minor, Op. 25, No. 4 Etude in E minor, Op. 25, No. 5 Etude in G-sharp minor, Op. 25, No. 6 Etude in C-sharp minor, Op. 25, No. 7 Etude in D-flat major, Op. 25, No. 8 Etude in G-flat major, Op. 25, No. 9 Etude in B minor, Op. 25, No. 10 Etude in A minor, Op. 25, No. 11 Etude in C minor, Op. 25, No. 12 Nocturne No. 1 to No. 21 Prelude in A-flat major Prelude Op. 28, No. 1 to No. 24 Prelude Op. 45, No. 25 Prelude No. 27 Grande Valse brillante in E-flat major, Op. 18 Waltz in Vivace A-flat major, Op. 34, B 94 No. 1 Waltz in Lento A minor, Op. 34, B64 No. 2 Waltz in Vivace F major, Op. 34, B118 No. 3 Waltz in A-flat major, Op. 42, B131 Waltz in D-flat major, Op. 64, B164 No. 1 Waltz in C-sharp minor, Op. 64, B164 No. 2 Waltz in A-flat major, Op. 64, B164 No. 3 Waltz in A-flat major, Op. 69, B95 No. 1 Waltz in B minor, Op. 69, B35 No. 2 Waltz in G-flat major, Op. 70, B92 No. 1 Waltz in F minor, Op. 70, B138 No. 2 Waltz in D-flat major, Op. 70, B40 No. 3 Waltz in E minor (Posthumous) Waltz in E major (Posthumous) Waltz in A-flat major, B21 Waltz in E-flat major, B46 Waltz in E-flat major, B133 Waltz in A minor, B150 nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; We hope you enjoy playing the music of this musical genius as much as we enjoyed compiling it into this complete collection of works.

In his "Ballades" Chopin created a new, typically Romantic genre not known in earlier instrumental music. Includes the four Ballades: No. 1 in minor, Op. 23; No.2 in F major, Op. 38; No. 3 in A-flat Major, Op. 47; No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52. This Urtext edition includes ossia marked by Chopin himself or inscribed in his hand in pupils' copies. The National Edition of the Works of Fryderyk Chopin Published by PWM Exclusively Distributed by Hal Leonard Corporation Co-Editors Jan Ekier and Pawel Kaminski The 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).

Book excerpt: Book Size: 8 1/2" x 11" * * * * * * CHOPIN composed four Ballades; the first, in G minor, opus 23, was published in June, 1836; the second, in F major-A minor, opus 38, in September, 1840; the third, in A flat, opus 47, November, 1841; and the fourth, in F minor, opus 62, in February, 1843. In his "Studies in Modern Music," W. H. Hadow has said some pertinent things about Chopin. Yet we must not unconditionally accept his statement that "in structure Chopin is a child playing with a few simple types; and almost helpless as soon as he advances beyond them; in phraseology he is a master whose felicitous perfection of style is one of the abiding treasures of the art." Chopin then, according to Hadow, is no builder of the lofty rhyme, but the poet of the single line, a maker of the phrase exquisite. This is hardly comprehensive enough. With the more classic, complex types of musical organism Chopin had little sympathy, nevertheless he contrives to write two movements of a piano sonata that are excellent -- the first half of the B flat minor Sonata. But he preferred the idealized dance-forms; the Polonaise, Mazurka, and Waltz were already in existence for him to manipulate. The Ballade was not. Here he is not an imitator or remodeller, but creator. Not loosely jointed, but compact structures glowing with genius and of a definite unity in form and expression are the Ballades -- commonly written in six-eight and six-four time. "None of Chopin's compositions sur- passes in masterliness of form and beauty and poetry of contents his Ballades.
