The score for Chopin's masterpiece “Piano Concerto No. 2, in F minor, Op. 21” penned by the composer at the age of only nineteen is faithfully reproduced using the latest technology, right down to subtle color variations in ink and paper, and traces of corrections. An item of national treasure status even among the historical riches housed in Poland's National Library, the score has the piano part penned entirely in Chopin's hand, and is a valuable resource that includes traces of numerous corrections and revisions, and notes including on fingering and use of the pedals. This facsimile edition also comes with a commentary by world-leading Chopin authority Professor Jan Ekier, and CD featuring the concerto played by world-famous pianist and interpreter of Chopin Arthur Rubenstein, all in a leather case.
