The publishing activity of the Fryderyk Chopin Society

In addition to two flagship publication projects – the Complete Works of Fryderyk Chopin and the Chopin Yearbook – the Society has issued dozens of other publications.

From 1967 to 1992 it issued, in association with the Polish Music Publishers, nine volumes in the source-critical Polish National Edition of the Works Fryderyk Chopin edited by Jan Ekier.

The Society initiated, co-published and coordinated the pioneering facsimile series of Chopin’s manuscripts. The series consists of 10 volumes containing selected letters (ed. Zofia Helman) and Chopin’s compositions (op. 7 no. 3, op. 18, op. 29, op. 57, op. 68 no. 4, op. 71 no. 3) from the Society’s collections with the commentaries by Hanna Wróblewska-Straus, Wojciech Nowik, Teresa Czerwińska and Kazimierz Chruścicki in Polish, English and French (TiFC–Romega, 1999–2001).

A large group of publications include the exhibition catalogues, most of them authored by Hanna Wróblewska-Straus.

7 volumes of the Chopin Society’s Collection Catalogues, prepared by Janina Ohrt, Zofia Piętaszewska, Teresa Dalila Turło, Hanna Wróblewska and Magdalena Kędra, came out between 1969 and 1971.

Other important titles include the catalogues by Józef Michał Chomiński and Teresa Dalila Turło (TiFC–PWM, 1990), Kornel Michałowski (TiFC–PWM, 1970) and Katarzyna Janczewska-Sołomko and Włodzimierz Pigła (TiFC–NIFC, 2023), and many other publications.
