Hardly any cycle of piano<br />
pieces can match the magnetic<br />
attraction of Chopin’s 24<br />
Préludes, published in 1839.<br />
Schumann called them ‘sketches,<br />
beginnings of études, [...]<br />
ruins, stray eagle’s pinions, all<br />
disorder and wild confusion’.<br />
Christoph Flamm has critically<br />
reevaluated the sources,<br />
bringing to light new readings<br />
of this well-known musical text.<br />
Hardy Rittner, a hammerklavier<br />
specialist and two-time winner<br />
of the ECHO Classic prize, who<br />
has recorded Brahms’ piano<br />
music and all of Chopin’s Études<br />
on period pianofortes, has<br />
supplemented Chopin’s fingering<br />
from a historically informed<br />
perspective. He also provides<br />
valuable notes on performance<br />
practice, especially with regard<br />
to pedalling, rubato, latent<br />
polyphony, legato and Chopin’s<br />
perception of sound.<br />
