CHOPIN An Introduction To His Piano Works is a pedagogical piano collection edited by Willard A. Palmer and published by Alfred Publishing as part of the Alfred Masterwork Edition series. This volume presents a carefully selected group of Chopin works arranged to introduce students to his musical language while remaining accessible to developing pianists.
The book includes representative waltzes, mazurkas, preludes, polonaises, nocturnes, and short character pieces, many drawn from posthumous works. Editorial commentary and musical examples address ornamentation, phrasing, articulation, and stylistic interpretation, making this an instructional as well as performance focused volume.
