EE1 - First English edition
Publisher: | Robert Cocks & Co |
Date: | 21 V 1851 |
Plate number: | 9727 |
Title: | Sonata |
Dedication: | None |
First English edition, based on a GE1 copy without last retouches (see mov. IV, bar 225). The text of the basis was developed by Brinley Richards (he added, among others, numerous fingering digits). Nevertheless, EE1 contains numerous inaccuracies and mistakes; for example, the following were overlooked:
- slurs in bar 10, 17, 20, 24-26;
- accents in bar 11;
hairpins in bar 1, 23, 29;
- the tie to d
1 in bar 31,
- quaver beamings in bar 33.
The in bar 21 and the ending of the slur in bar 37 were inaccurately reproduced.
Certain patent mistakes of the basis, e.g. overlooked accidentals – a to d1 in bar 15 or a
to b
1 in bar 28, were left uncorrected.
The revisions introduced by EE1 include:
- writing in full the abbreviations of performance markings – molto instead of molt' in bar 1, leggiero instead of leggier. in bar 21;
- adding a
asterisk in bar 35.
