Chopin Institute📜 Two new facsimile editions of Chopin’s works have appeared in our long-running series! 🔹 Polonaise in F minor [Op. 71 No. 3]. WN 12 (presentation autograph, Fryderyk Chopin Museum in Warsaw) The manuscript which is the basis for this facsimile edition most likely dates back to 1828 and is currently kept at the Fryderyk Chopin Museum in Warsaw. Chopin gifted it to an unknown recipient in Stuttgart, in 1836. The Polonaise was written on a decorative sheet of paper. The author of the scientific commentary in this edition is Piotr Wojciechowski. 🔹 Polonaise in A flat major, WN 3 (presentation autograph, Warsaw Music Society) The following publication is the first complete reproduction of the Polonaise, faithfully depicting its original colours and dimensions. This particular autograph was created by Fryderyk Chopin in 1821, with the intention of it being a gift for the composer’s music teacher, Wojciech Żywny. It is currently part of the collection of the Warsaw Music Society. The scientific commentary was written by Ewa Bogula-Gniazdowska.
