EE3 - Later impression of EE2


Publisher: Wessel & Co.
Date: 1858
Plate number: W & Co 1648
Title: Les Plaintives! Deux Nocturnes. 7e. Nocturne
Dedication: Madame la Comtesse d'Appony

A number of revisions of the text of EE2 was introduced in EE3. These include:

  • additions inspired by comparisons with GE1, e.g.  in bar 9 (after GE) and bars 21, 25 and 92 (by analogy), a L.H. slur in bar 46, staccato dots in bars 75-76;
  • correction of an erroneous bass note in bar 14;
  • other minor corrections, e.g. adding a cautionary  in bar 21.

There exists a later impression of that edition (dated not earlier than 1864), which has the name of Wessel's successor, the firm Ashdown & Parry, printed in the bottom part of the cover.
