I guess this set includes all the authorised works with RCA while he
was alive - includes Chopin and non-Chopin works (e.g., Schubert's
Wanderer-Fantasy, Bach/Busoni Chaconne etc etc).

The people that bought the DG Complete Beethoven Edition set or the Philips
Complete Mozart Edition set.  And currently, we have the Bach "Complete"
set from VARIOUS labels!  And to a lesser extent, a DG Chopin set.  So,
there must be demand from somebody to justify this sort of undertaking.
