GE2 - Second German edition


Publisher: Pietro Mechetti qm Carlo
Date: 1861
Plate number: P. M. No 3682
Title: Trois Mazourkas || III.
Dedication: Monsieur Léon Szmitkowski

In GE2, attempts were taken to reproduce the text of GE1 without any changes, however, a few retouches were introduced:

  • the length of accents was standardized by substituting short marks for longer ones,
  • the inaccuracies of placement of the  signs, accents, slur endings, etc. was revised, not always aptly guessing the correct text.

Errors were not avoided, e.g. the accent in b. 69 was misplaced so it is not clear to which note it refers.
