Review: So good - The quality of the book is very good; the edition is the best Chopin you can buy, but I'm not convinced by the binding; it feels very fragile. Otherwise, I loved this edition and will buy it again. It's worth noting that this book of waltzes is divided into two parts: Part A: The waltzes Chopin published during his lifetime Part B: Chopin's waltzes published after his death For now, I've only ordered Part A. There are many waltzes I like here, and I'll be purchasing Part B and the etudes soon. Thank you very much. Review: The new standard - Beautifully printed, thoughtful fingering, useful commentary.
