Published within the â Signatureâ Series a series of authoritative performing editions of standard keyboard works prepared from original sources by leading scholars including informative introductions and performance notesâ I always welcome excellent scholarly editions of standard works in the piano repertoire such as this fine edition of Schumannâ s Papillons. A valuable introduction discusses Schumannâ s use of the word pedal how to play the ornaments and arpeggio indications in the score and the issue of problematic metronome markings. The editor provides other valuable performing information as well. This edition with its concise language and scholarly well-researched text gives more information on performance style than any other edition I know.â J.M. Clavier
