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).

Synopsis :

The following volume of the National Edition is published in the Series B which contains works published posthumously. The basis for this edition is taken from the original sources, i.e. autographs, copies and prints corrected by the composer or, if possible, other reliable sources. All the changes and supplementations - if they are necessary - are graphically distinguished from the text. In the ''Source Commentaries'' musicologists will find fundamental information about the sources together with an evaluation of the degree of their authenticity, a description of mutual connections (called ''filiation'') and a discussion of the more important divergences as well as the principles of editing the music text of particular works. In the music text, beside Chopin's fingering, we give, in different type, the fingering used in contemporary concert practice and the ''Performance Commentaries'' explain all these elements of music notation which may raise doubts today. They include: writing out the ornaments in full, pedalling indications, suggestions as to the realisation of ''harmonic legato'' and alternate fingering.
