EE2 - Corrected impression of EE1


Publisher: Robert Cocks & Co
Date: (VII 1851-1852)
Plate number: 9727
Title: Sonata
Dedication: None

EE2 corrected a number of errors from the first impression, and introduced some arbitrary changes.

The corrections of mistakes include, e.g.:

  • providing the opus number,
  • correcting the position of the quaver beam in bar 11,
  • adding a slur in bar 163.

Some distinct errors escaped the editor's attention, e.g.:

  • c1 (c1?) instead of b at the beginning of bar 108;
  • instead of at the end of bar 108;
  • d1 instead of d1 in bar 247.

Among the arbitrary additions and changes, the following can be mentioned:

There are known copies of EE2 with two versions of the title page. The copy presented in mUltimate Chopin has a later version, introduced in 1852* (the earlier one can be seen in the copy of EE1).
