US Books > Entertainment > Music > Instruments & Performers > Piano

Sparkling, graceful and tinged with an ineffable melancholy, Chopin's waltzes succeed in conveying an air of mystery while retaining their ballroom splendor. His scherzos are truly novel metamorphoses of the form — tumultuous emotional outpourings that frequently attain tragic heights. This volume includes 15 Waltzes?and 4?Scherzos. Republication of works from an authoritative early edition.
