A Small-Hand Edition of Chopin’s Prelude in A-flat major, Op. 28 No. 17.
This is not a simplified or beginner arrangement. The goal is to preserve the original musical character, texture, and difficulty while redesigning selected physical hand-size barriers.
The left hand's octave-based texture and the musical difficulty remain. The musical character and texture are preserved while selected hand-size barriers — the stretches beyond a comfortable octave — are redesigned.
• Required simultaneous reach: one octave or less
• 4 hand redistributions
• 5 quick rolls
• 2 short editorial pedals
• 2 places where one key printed in both hands is played once
• Every change is listed in the score
Designed for pianists who can handle the musical and technical demands of the original work, but are limited by selected stretches beyond a comfortable octave.
PLAYABLE PIANO
We don't make hard music easy.
We make it more playable for smaller hands.
