Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The aim of this Urtext is to present as far as is possible the text and notation that reflects most completely the original intentions of the composer, drawing upon the most important sources. The pieces included are: Three Nocturnes Op.9, Three Nocturnes Op.15, Two Nocturnes Op.27, Two Nocturnes Op.32, Two Nocturnes Op.37, Two Nocturnes Op.48, Two Nocturnes Op.55, Two Nocturnes Op.62, Nocturne B1 49, Nocturne Op. post.72, and Nocturne B1 108. Chopin's original manuscripts, the French and German first editions, and the surviving contemporary handwritten copies have been restricted only to those exceptional cases where they are obviously necessary. A section of notes details the discrepancies between sources.

Author notes provided by Syndetics
Frederic Chopin was born on February 22, 1810, in Zelazowa Wola, a small city located near Warsaw, Poland. The son of a French father and a Polish mother, Chopin spent his childhood studying the music of Mozart and Bach, and learned how to play the piano at the Warsaw School of Music. At the age of seven, Chopin performed his first public concert, and eight years later, at 15, he became a published composer. By the late 1820s, Chopin was traveling across Europe giving concert performances. Falling in love with Paris, Chopin moved there in 1831, and never again returned to his homeland.Chopin began a relationship with Mme. Aurore Dudevant, also known as George Sand, in 1837. When their relationship fell apart some ten years later, Chopin was heartbroken. Chopin continued to compose, but his battle with tuberculosis, which he had been dealing with for years, caught up to him
Chopin died on October 17, 1849, at the age of 39.
