Chopin Four Ballades Henle Urtext Edition

The Chopin Four Ballades Henle Urtext Edition presents all four of Chopin's Ballades — perhaps the greatest set of piano works in the Romantic period — in the Henle scholarly standard from the original manuscript sources. The Ballades are the works that most advanced piano students aspire to perform, combining the highest levels of technical difficulty with the most profound musical content in the piano repertoire. The Henle Urtext presents the text as Chopin composed it, including numerous details that differ from the bowdlerised texts in commercial editions of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

• All four Ballades — the greatest set of Romantic piano works
• Edited from original Chopin manuscript sources
• Numerous textual details absent from commercial editions
• The pinnacle of advanced Romantic piano repertoire
