Chopin Nocturnes and Polonaises, Dover edition
By A
I have to say that the Dover edition is my favorite for most any piano music, regardless of composer. The copy I have of this book is quite beat up, mostly because it has been used for many years but the pages and cover are still in considerably good shape. Besides containing some of the most beautiful piano music of the romantic period, the markings and notation are easy to read and understand, making the composer’s intentions for the music perfectly clear to the pianist. I highly recommend this book, along with any other piano music editions by Dover Publishers.

Decent, but not the Paderewski
By Musical Reviewer
Don’t buy this edition if you are under the impression that it is The Paderewski Edition published by Dover. This is now the new Carl Mikuli edition published by G. Schirmer (perhaps the worst edition in the world) reprinted by Dover. Dover used to publish this from The Paderewski Edition; however, for some reason, it’s gone out of print. If you can get your hands on an old copy of this from The Paderewski Edition, I would highly advise buying it! It’s much better, and more true to Chopin’s intentions. Even if you can’t find an old Dover copy, The Paderewski edition is still published privately. Don’t buy this edition, it’s truly a waste of your money.

not quite complete
By pigpig
Notes are printed clearly. Binding is durable. Pages won’t come out easily. This is not a complete edition of Nocturnes and Polonaises. This book has only 11 Polonaises and does not include 5 more Polonaises. Despite being criticized spurious by some music scholars, the omitted Polonaises are great for playing. It does not include the other postumous C minor Nocturne. If you want a book that is different from G.Shirmer’s edition, this book will NOT do.
