The four Impromptus of Chopin contained in this book of Peters were written between 1834 and 1843. The sources are numerous, as is usual in Chopin's works. There are several parallel editions in French, German and English, sometimes with more than one edition, but also autographed manuscripts, copies and annotated notes belonging to several students, revealing refinements in chord spacing and articulation that emerged in the course of Chopin classrooms.
Edition Peters dates back to December 1, 1800, when the Vienna-educated composer and conductor Franz Anton Hoffmeister (1754–1812) partnered with organist Ambrosius Kühnel (c. 1770–1813) to establish a Bureau de Musique in Leipzig. Its activities included the sale of instruments - providing, among others, Goethe and Beethoven - and the publishing of books and sheet music.
The label is well known among classical music musicians for the variety and quality of its editions.
