Review (PDF) Waltz In A Minor: Posthumous For The Piano, Sheet (Alfred Masterwork Edition)
The posthumous A-minor waltz makes a fine first piece for a late intermediate student's introduction to Chopin and his style. The right hand's sweeping melodic phrases include ornamentation and varying rhythms against the left hand's steady quarter note "bass note, chord, chord" waltz pattern. This edition includes helpful footnotes and fingering suggestions.

I highly recommend this for anyone that wants to be introduced to Chopin's Preludes. I purchased this primarily to get the Chopin Prelude in E Minor, but all 4 of the Preludes are worth learning. I love this edition because it has the original music plus editor's notations which are clearly marked in a different color/grayscale. Also there are clear explanations on how to play certain passages where the musical notations are ambiguous. I also like that pedal suggestions are present. Overall great music book.
