Chopin Famous Transcriptions For Violin And Piano (PMW) Edition Volume 2

Chopin: Famous Transcriptions for Violin and Piano by Frédéric Chopin, published by Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne, gathers some of Chopin’s most beloved piano works in expressive and virtuosic arrangements for violin and piano by distinguished violinist-composers; these transcriptions transform Chopin’s poetic keyboard writing into singing violin lines rich in cantabile warmth, Romantic rubato, and refined brilliance, allowing the violin to assume a vocal, almost operatic role while preserving the intimate elegance and emotional nuance of the originals.
