Throughout the history of music, only three great composers could create ?real' mazurkas... These composers were Fryderyck Chopin, Karol Szymanowski and ? Roman Maciejewski.""Editor Michal Wesolowski sets the bar very high, but presents 40 Maciejewski mazurkas in two volumes as proof of his statement.With the availability of original manuscripts in 1994, Wesolowski set about to publish these wonderful examples of the Polish art form,including only those pieces completed by the composer. With background notes and detailed remarks on specific mazurkas,the Maciejewski Mazurkas is published in handsome fashion by PWM. For advanced pianists.
