Composed by Frederic Chopin. Edited by Christoph Flamm. This edition: urtext edition. Paperback. Barenreiter Urtext. With fingering. Performance score. Opus 28, 45. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA09610. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA09610).ISBN 9790006530731. 12.2 x 9.57 inches. Preface: Christoph Flamm.
Hardly any cycle of piano pieces can match the magnetic attraction of Chopin’s “24 Prludes”, published in 1839. Schumann called them “sketches, beginnings of tudes, [...] ruins, stray eagle's pinions, all disorder and wild confusion”.
Christoph Flamm has critically reevaluated the sources, bringing to light new readings of this well-known musical text. Hardy Rittner, a hammerklavier specialist and two-time winner of the ECHO Classic prize, who has recorded Brahms’ piano music and all of Chopin’s “Études” on period pianofortes, has supplemented Chopin’s fingering from a historically informed perspective. He also provides valuable notes on performance practice, especially with regard to pedalling, rubato, latent polyphony, legato and Chopin’s perception of sound.
An aesthetically presented engraving and practical page-turns make this current edition indispensable for today’s scholars and performers.

Chopin mysterious
I thought when I bought these Preludes that I would be immediately drawn in to playing them. This has not been the case. For some reason unknown to me these little Preludes have been a trifle confounding for me as there isnt much in the literature to describe how they should be played, or even why Chopin composed these in the first place. Taken individually the Preludes are too short for concertizing, but as a whole they are as different and varied as Bachs Well Tempered Clavier...which may have been an inspiration for these. However, all this aside Barenreiter does its usual bang-up job and the printing is easy to read and the pink cover is just adorable!
