FE2 - Corrected impression of FE1


Publisher: Maurice Schlesinger
Date: VII 1836
Plate number: M.S. 1929
Title: Deux Polonaises

The second impression of the French edition was released only around a month later after FE1 as a supplement to Revue et Gazette Musicale de Paris from 31.07.1836. The edition, similarly as the first impression, was proofread with Chopin's participation. The proofreading included completing missing accidentals, e.g., in bar 30, a few cautionary accidentals were also added (in bar 3143 and analog.). Two major mistakes were also corrected – the superfluous d1 in bar 70 was deleted and b was changed to a in bar 94. The most important change coming from the composer is undoubtedly the fact of doubling the bass line in the bottom octave in bars 103-104.  

FE2 constitutes the base of the main text as the latest edition proofread by Chopin.
