Rating: Summary: Indestructible--Frederic Chopin would have approved. Review: The I. Paderewski edition of Chopin's Piano Concerto's No. 1 and 2 is the best edition I've looked at. The orchestral part is intricately transcribed for the second piano. Like all Dover products, this book and its binding are virtually indestructible...a major plus for the monumental task of mastering the greatest concertos of them all (Concerto No.2 in F minor). A good buy!

Rating: Summary: The Chopin Concertos Review: Whether you have heard these works many times or are new to them, reading and following the score of a masterwork is a way to get yet closer to the piece. Chopin wrote both concertos when he was 18-20 years of age. His masterly writing for the piano is astounding, and while it's been written and said that he wasn't much of an orchestrator, after reading the score I found this not to be the case. Sure, the piano is the star, spotlight and all, but the orchestra has much to contribute. There's no finer scores for the money than these by Dover. Recommended!
