Full Chopin Trolley

We recently acquired a large consignment of Chopin scores edited by the renowned Chopinologist Jan Ekier.  You can see them in the catalogue here:-
You can hear some of Ekier's Chopin editions being played on our Alexander Street Press Classical Music Library subscription!  RCS Library Electronic Resources Page 

Listen to early recordings of Chopin on the British Library Sounds website, from as early as 1895-1958.  (Did you know why there are so many arrangements of Chopin's music for other instruments?  Read on!)

Book Vandalism (Gonnae No Dae That!)

Poor old Chopin

We were upset when a student found this, yesterday.

It's a library book, folks!  You wouldn't do that to a friend's book, would you?  If you must add markings, please do them lightly in pencil, and never use ink or marker pen! 

At least if you use a pencil, you can spend a couple of minutes with an eraser when you've finished.
 
"Gonnae No Dae That" is a Glasgow colloquialism from the TV comedy series, Still Game.  It means, don't do it!
