This book is worth having just for the Berceuse and Tarantella, and also for the Barcarolle, another brilliant and showy work that is all too rarely played.

I own a Chopin's Complete Works for Solo Piano on CD. But I still buy these Carl Muliki's landmark edition. There are many editions of Chopin's music. They are different from one another in many passages and fingerings. I bought this edition because they are edited by Chopin's long time pupil, later, his teaching assistant, Carl Mikuli (1819-1897) - Polish pianist, composer, conductor and teacher. Also helped by many Chopin's faithful pupils and beloved friends. As Mikuli said in the Forward: "This edition would succeed in restoring the authentic text and in making further mutilation(of Chopin's music) forever impossible, ......I must note here that the fingering of this edition comes in large part from Chopin himself, where it does not, .... in the editor's opinion." -- I had some Chopin's music edited by Rafael Joseffy, like "Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2", also by Dover Publication, which I did not like that much. The fingering did not works for me. The following is a list of Chopin's Works in the Carl Mikuli Edition by Dover Publication. Each one is about 200 pages, not too thick, sturdily bond, can endure years of use. And the price is very reasonable. Complete Preludes and Etudes: Preludes - moods in miniature Etudes - new school of pianism Complete Ballades, Impromptu & Sonatas: Ballades - poetic legendary dramas Impromptu - unrestrained feelings Sonatas: classical currents Fantasy in F minor, Barcarolle, Berceuse and Other Works. Nocturnes and Polonaises Nocturnes - night and its melancholy mysteries Polonaises - heroic hymns of the battle Waltzes and Scherzos Waltzes - dance of the soul and not of the body. Scherzos - Chopin's own creations, not Beethoven type's Scherzi. Mazurkas: dance of the soul, divine coquetries. Many famous pianists had made recordings in complete Etudes and Preludes, Ballades, Impromptus, Mazurkas, Nocturnes, Polonaises, Scherzi and Waltzes and Other Works. You can do a search to find out your favorite pianist's recordings and listen to it along with the scores. Enjoy listening and practicing Chopin's music!
