Misc. Comments

Main soundtrack of the film The Pianist published in 2002. A comparison of the piece played by Adrien Brody in the film with the score above will illustrate some differences. This is because the PDF version provided above is a slightly simplified version that contains some modifications from the original Chopin manuscript.

The Henle Urtext versions, considered by many to be accurate, appear to contain many editorial modifications from the original manuscripts, including the F# in place of the original D# as mentioned in the miscellaneous notes above. The Leon Erdstein edition appears to be faithful to the original manuscript, for this particular piece at least. Finally, the Paderewski editions of Chopin, considered by some to be spurious, contain a commentary at the back of the volume which details the sources with any known modifications clearly listed.
