I have been pianoing (playing & practicing) piano over 70 years. I was fortunate to have Joseph Brinkman as a teacher at the U. of Michigan. He was very good atteaching a person to love music & assigned me difficult Chopin. I have several editions of most of Chopin's music & consider Mikuli the best. Mikuli's comments about Chopin indicate he was Chopin's student, had great respect for him, & that he was very precise. Other editions sometimes simplify, increase complexity, or use pedaling that makes no sense. Sometimes Chopin indicates broken cords with two different symbols to indicate rolling speed, & will put in an extra note or notes on a chord to suggest a slight decrease in tempo. The last comment is that Dover uses excellent paper that lasts a very long time.
