NotensammlungFrédéric Chopin Small-Hand Collection Small-Hand Edition

A collection of ten Chopin works in the PLAYABLE PIANO Small-Hand Edition, redesigned for pianists with smaller hands. Each edition keeps the first edition's notes except where one hand would have to stretch beyond an octave.

This is not a simplified or beginner collection. The goal is to preserve the original musical character, texture, and difficulty while redesigning selected physical hand-size barriers.

Included:

- Polonaise in A-flat major, Op. 53 "Heroic"

- Mazurka in A minor, Op. 17 No. 4

- Funeral March, Piano Sonata No. 2, Op. 35

- Prelude in A minor, Op. 28 No. 20

- Nocturne in C minor, Op. 48 No. 1

- Impromptu No. 1 in A-flat major, Op. 29

- Prelude in D-flat major, Op. 28 No. 15 "Raindrop"

- Prelude in A-flat major, Op. 28 No. 17

- Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52

The editions are release candidates. None has been played through by a human tester yet. Each piece's own listing gives its measurements, conditions, and the Editorial Changes page of its sheet music.

Sheet music for each piece: PDF + MusicXML.
