When I first encountered a recording by Arcadi Volodos some 26 years ago, it was above all his fabled virtuosity that made an impression. One thinks of his own transcription of Mozart’s Rondo alla turca, or Feinberg’s arrangement of the Scherzo from Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony. Impressive, without question.
I am an editor based in Amsterdam. I started Felix Editions because much of the Romantic piano repertoire I wanted to study existed only in dense, error-filled nineteenth-century prints, or in modern editions that look like they were set by a machine. Every volume is prepared from primary sources, with a critical commentary that documents the decisions behind the text.
