The discovery of Kabalevsky's opus 1 is a momentous event. This edition strives to remain faithful to the manuscript, allowing pianists and scholars to access the music in as pure a form as possible. Of course fingerings and editorial suggestions could have been made, but it was not the intention to offer a study edition. Rather, the score is presented to the public to be digested and explored in it's unadulterated form. Kirsten Johnson
