Book Overview
Sparkling, graceful and tinged with an ineffable melancholy, Chopin's waltzes succeed in conveying an air of mystery while retaining their ballroom splendor. His scherzos are truly novel metamorphoses of the form -- tumultuous emotional outpourings that frequently attain tragic heights. Prepared by Carl Mikuli, Chopin's student and teaching assistant, this edition of these innovative works is particularly authoritative, reflecting Mikuli's knowledge and understanding of Chopin's music. This volume includes: Waltzes Op. 18 Op. 70, Nos. 1-3 Op. 34, Nos. 1-3 E Minor, (Op. posth.) Op. 42 E Major (Op. posth.) Op. 64, Nos. 1-3 Op. 69, Nos. 1-2 Scherzos Opp. 20, 31, 39, 54.

Review
The newer version of this books is no longer a reprint from Paderewski Edition. It is now a reprint from Schirmer Edition. The Editor is Carl Mikuli. Not Bronarski or Turczynski. Also, if you buy the newest version, it comes in 'Lay Flat Sewn-Binding', which is Dover's improved version. The older version used to fall apart. Some sellers still sell the older version at lower price. The actual price for this new and improved version is $12.95

Excellent Edition
Notes are easy to read, format is well laid out, all the waltzes and scherzi from a major romantic composer, and at a very reasonable price. What more could a music lover or pianist ask for? Highly recommended!

Wonderful!
This collection of Chopin's waltzes and scherzos is excellent. The waltzes are perfect for anyone from the intermediate-grade pianist to the professional performer, and the scherzos are dramatic, emotional pieces suitable for advanced pianists. The book itself is put together well so that it won't fall apart (as so many other piano books of mine have).
