| |  | Dear Reader,
|
| What a sensation! When, last spring, the prestigious Morgan Library in New York announced the discovery of a previously unknown Chopin waltz manuscript in its collection, the music world took notice. A discovery such as this is extremely rare, and it has caused quite a stir. We would like to congratulate the finder, curator Robinson McClellan!
Of course, as publishers of Chopin and long-standing friends of the Morgan, we were immediately interested … and today I am pleased to inform you that the manuscript of this little waltz in a minor is currently being presented in an » exhibition at the library. And almost right next to it is the first carefully prepared Urtext edition, including a facsimile reproduction of the work, from our publishing house.
You can read more about this edition and other high-quality editions in the new publications section of this newsletter. Enjoy!
|
| With very best wishes,
| 
| Dr. Norbert Gertsch
| Managing Director
|
| P.S. You will find an interview with the editor of the Chopin waltz in our » blog.

In the 1910s, a romantic infatuation for the harpist Eleonora Damskaja moved the young Sergei Prokofiev to compose three short pieces for harp and dedicate them to her. Through intensive research in Moscow archives, the autograph sources of all three works as well as galley proofs, first editions and later revised editions could be consulted for this edition. For the first time, all of Prokofiev’s compositions for harp are thus available in a reliable Urtext edition.
