By Frederic Chopin. By Frederic Chopin. Arranged by Todd J. Scallan. This edition: pdf, streaming. Classical, Romantic Period. Score. 10 pages. Tempo Vero Editions #1249075. Published by Tempo Vero Editions (A0.1683848).
From Tempo Vero Editions Classical Repertoire: Late Romantic Masters Fantaisie-Impromptu by Frédéric Chopin exists in two distinct versions. The well-known 1855 Fontana edition, published posthumously, was based on a now-lost manuscript from 1834. In 1960, pianist Artur Rubinstein revealed a previously unknown autograph manuscript by Chopin, dated 1835. That version offers notable differences and fresh interpretive possibilities.
This dual-source edition unites both versions in a single, practical score. The familiar Fontana text forms the foundation, carefully refined for clarity and readability. Authentic variants from the autograph—spanning melody, rhythm, dynamics, articulation, and phrasing—are clearly marked, allowing for thoughtful comparison. The edition also includes Source Notes and Editorial Guidelines that provide historical context, explain selective refinements to the Fontana text, and clarify the notational conventions used for autograph variants.
Whether you choose to play the established Fontana version or explore the autograph alternatives, this edition supports a deeper and more informed connection with this iconic work.
