| Publisher: | Jean Ricordi |
| Date: | 15 VI 1851 |
| Plate number: | S 23298 S |
| Title: | Grande Sonate |
| Dedication: | None |
First Italian edition based on a copy of GE without the final alterations – see 4th mvt., bar 225. The text of the Stichvorlage was given in IE1 with inaccuracies, and errors were sometimes not avoided, e.g.:
- extending the
mark in bar 13, - f instead of g at the beginning of bar 106,
- omitting a
in bar 163, - omitting a slur in bar 176.
A number of editorial changes were also made, i.a.:
- the c3 note in the 1st chord in bar 38 was overlooked,
- d
2/d2 was changed to c2 in bar 87, - a
lowering c1 to c1 in bar 170 was added, - long accents in bar 232 were added,
- the range of the 2nd slur in bar 245 was changed.
In some cases, IE guessed Chopin's intention in spite of a mistake or an inaccuracy in the Stichvorlage, or removed certain defects or ambiguities of notation, e.g.:
- the vague curved line in the L.H. in bar 24 was reproduced as a tie to g,
- the unnecessarily repeated
to e2 in bar 121 was omitted, - a to g3 in bar 164 was added, overlooked by Chopin,
- endings of the ties/slurs in bar 240 were added, probably overlooked by Chopin.
