Scherzo In E Major Op. 54
It Almost Looks Like Method: At Almost Regular Intervals In 1835, 1837 And 1840 Chopin's Scherzi No. 1 3 Appeared. The Fourth And Last Piece Of This Genus Followed In 1843 After Another 3 Years. Compared To The Predominantly Gloomy Predecessors, Scherzo No. 4 Is Surprisingly Cheerful: Its Spotted Chord Strings And Sparkling Runs Conjure Up The Spirit Of Mendelssohn Scherzi. Editorally, The Work, However, A Hard Nut. The Three First Editions, Published In Parallel In Germany, France And England, Have Numerous Variants, Which Must Be Decided On A Case By Case Basis, Whether They Are Authentic Or Not. This Task Meticulously Solves The Revised Urtext Single Edition And Makes The Tradition Exemplary In Practice.
