A concert at the Real Conservatorio Superior de Musica in Madrid will be held to promote the new National Edition of the works of Fryderyk Chopin, featuring accomplished Polish musicians such as Jakub Jakowicz and Jan Krzysztof Broja
The National Edition of the works of Fryderyk Chopin is a unique, complete collection of the Polish composer's works. The album aims to be the best example of the works of Fryderyck Chopin and a primary resource for both students and teachers as well as music enthusiasts.
The National Edition, put together by Professor Jan Ekier covers a 50 year period and was released to coincide with the International Chopin Year 2010.
Poland's spectacular cultural accomplishment will be promoted during a seminar on the role of the text in Chopin's performed works, led by co-editor Paweł Kamiński, as well as a series of concerts presenting all of Chopin's chamber works performed by acclaimed Polish musicians Andrzej Bauer, Jakub Jakowicz and Jan Krzysztof Broja.
