Mazurkas, Poemes, Impromptus and Other Pieces for Piano [Paperback] Review

What the above review failed to mention is that the "Muzurkas, Poems,and Impromptues" book contains all of Scriabin's piano music exceptingthat which is contained in the "Preludes and Etudes" and the"Piano Sonata's" books. All three of these books are published byDover and are not altered to death buy rotten editors. Comprehensiveeditions of composer's works are very valuable and often a huge oversightin the unusually chopy realm of sheet music. The book is also made as goodas paperbacks get.

Product Description:
This unique volume of Alexander Scriabin's piano music combines all of the Russian composer's widely admired Poèmes, which exude the richness and complexity of his later style, with all of the earlier, more Chopinesque Mazurkas and Impromptus. Nearly 100 piano works of varying length and difficulty, reprinted from authoritative Russian editions, represent the full span of Scriabin's musical life.

Piano Masterpieces of Maurice Ravel [Paperback] Review

I give this book 5 stars because it is the cheapest way to own the best editions of Ravel's greatest masterpieces for piano.The last reviewer is correct in stating that these are reprints of the original french editions, but those editions remain the best since there currently exists no critical or scholarly editions of ravel's piano works.The Dover edition even corrects some errors that existed in the original editions.The last reiviewer likes Nancy Bricard's editions (and other editions published by Alfred edited by Maurice Hinson) but I think Nancy Bricard got a little too happy when she got access to Ravel's manuscript, and purposefully included obvious errors into the score, including a footnote explaining that it's an error, instead of just correcting it.Alfred can hardly be trusted for scholarly editing, so for now, this edition remains the best buy.
