Etudes. Piano Solo.: Schirmer Library of Classics Volume 33 Piano Solo (Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics)

I bought this as I had developed a great love for Chopin's Etudes after listening to Idil Biret's performances of them. Inspiring. Uplifting. Chopin: 12 Etudes op10 & 25 Chopin: Etudes Perhaps I could play them, I thought, naively. So I bought this excellent Friedheim edition and discovered to my horror just how demanding these pieces are. Harder (in my opinion) than the Waltzes, or Preludes, or even Nocturnes. The fact that I could have been so wide of the mark in my expectations is testimony to the supreme skill of Idil Biret. But what a great piano edition. Everything's very clear (including notation) and very well laid out. The usual battle with the spine aside, this is really good value and I would recommend it to any lover of Chopin. But for me, this is definitely music that I will have to work my way up to, probably over a very long period of time, and probably after much listening to Idil Biret!

The recipient loves the book as much as it’s a gift😊

Big book and stays open very nicely, of course not easy at all bud very nice pieces, chopelicious ( .... ) for this price , you can have a long time practice / play pleasure. Very nice thanks :)

No problems with printing or anything, easy to read, adequate fingering information.

It is exactly what I wanted and exactly what I got. Very pleased

The only edition of the Études that I like. Essential if you plan on learning these works.

For any one who likes to learn, understand and practice romantic (classic) music this book is a must. Well packed in perfect conditions.

This appears to be a photographic reprint, and there are occasional printing errors/smudges. The paper is very thin, and the music is very reluctant to sit flat on the stand - difficult to handle especially when turning pages over.

Excellent service. Impeccable!!!!!

Muy buen producto lo recomiendo mucho mucho

Overall the Vol.33 Chopin Etudes was good. At one place, page 59 at the first staff, second measure, the print did not come out. I took a ruler and pencil and had to go through the whole measure and repair it line by line, and had to repair some of the print on the notes as well.

Worst paper quality I've ever seen in a music score. Impossible to keep the pages open. A total waste.

L'édition Schirmer's a toujours été une bonne édition. Le cahier était conforme à mes attentes.
