EE2 - Corrected impression of EE1


Publisher: Wessel & Co
Date: ca 1856-60
Plate number: W & Co. No. 1086
Title: Premier Grand Concerto
Dedication: Monsieur Fr. Kalkbrenner

Corrected impression of EE, coming from approx. 1856-1860; it was available also later, already after the Wessel's publishing house had been taken over by the Ashdown & Parry company. The copy presented in mUltimate Chopin comes exactly from that period (ca. 1864*).

EE2 corrected a number of varied defects of EE1, mainly patent, e.g.:

  • a  mark was added in bar 146, overlooked during the revision of EE1,
  • accidentals were added, e.g. in bar 187, 211, 265 and 267; cautionary accidentals were also added, e.g. a  before g3 in bar 483,
  • a slur was added in bars 384-385,
  • erroneous f2 was changed to e2 in bar 490.

Some of the changes of EE2 were most probably introduced after comparison with GE2, e.g. cautionary sharps were added in bar 373, 374.
