GE2 - Second German edition


Publisher: Breitkopf & Härtel
Date: około 1853
Title: Impromptu pour le Pianoforte
Dedication: Dedicated to Mademoiselle LA COMTESSE DE LOBAU

When compared with GE1, GE2 has a better layout of the musical text (division into pages and systems) and several dozen various changes:

  • the entire text was revised again with regard to accidentals,
  • performance markings (accents, dynamic signs) were supplemented, partly on the basis of A, partly by comparison with analogical fragments,
  • some arbitrary changes were introduced, e.g. in bar 11.
