Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Chopin left behind only a few works in the main form of the classical period, the sonata – of these, the Piano Sonata op. 58 certainly numbers among the most important. In terms of form, it is more conventionally constructed than the earlier b-minor Sonata, but just like its sibling work, it is suffused with romantic poetry, irresistible melodic ideas and brilliant virtuosity. The revision of the existing Henle Urtext edition has now been based on a broader foundation of sources: alongside a further student copy, which contains revelatory corrections stemming from Chopin’s teaching, a later impression of the French first edition is of particular importance, since Chopin’s corrections are implemented there. This late impression is the new primary source of the edition, which partially results in new, unaccustomed twists in the musical text. In order to optimally present the previously known variants of the autograph, the revised Urtext edition contains an appendix in which the earlier, likewise authorised version of the sonata is also printed in full. This double musical text, together with the extensive set of footnotes and commentary texts, offers the ideal basis for all those who want to become acquainted with and study this classic sonata in all its diversity.
