Publisher: | Robert Cocks & Co |
Date: | 21 V 1851 |
Plate number: | 9727 |
Title: | Sonata |
Dedication: | None |
First English edition, based on a copy of GE1 without the final alterations (see 4th mvt., bar 225). The base text was edited (with the addition of abundant fingering, i.a.) by Brinley Richards. Despite this, EE1 contains a considerable number of errors and inaccuracies, among others:
- omitting the information on the opus number,
- erroneously placed quaver beam in bar 11,
- omitted slurs in bar 24, 43, 122, 163, omitted fragment of a slur in bar 117,
- omitted staccato dots in bar 37, wedge in bar 45,
- omitted middle notes of a chord in bar 46,
- c1 (c1?) instead of b in bar 108,
- f instead of d at the end of bar 108,
- omitting all accidentals in the L.H. part in bar 122,
- instead of in bar 247.
Moreover, some mistakes from the base text were left uncorrected, e.g.:
- confusing rhythmic notation in bar 96,
- overlooked to the top note of the penultimate R.H. quaver in bar 164,
- overlooked restoring b1 in bar 245.
The revisions introduced into EE1 concern mainly accidentals, e.g. omitting the unnecessarily repeated a1 in bar 31.
