Facsimile Edition

The Facsimile Edition edited by Zofia Chechlińska is an international academic publishing project realised over several years, the aim of which is to publish all the available manuscripts of works by Fryderyk Chopin in facsimile form, with commentaries by Chopin scholars.

The project is the first of its kind on such a grand scale anywhere in the world. Participating in the venture are representatives from countries: Poland, France, the UK, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, USA and Japan. The project’s partners are libraries where Chopin manuscripts are held, universities, music publishers and Chopin societies.

This special edition is:

• the first edition of the complete set of Chopin's music manuscripts
• the most outstanding graphic reproduction of the original texts hitherto produced
• a six-language source of the most up-to-date knowledge relating to the manuscripts and their history
• an exclusive limited edition collectors series, bound in leather with gold fittings, reproducing the watermarks and substance of the original paper
• an economical academic series with a plain exterior, equalling the original as a source of knowledge and a faithful reproduction
