FE2 - Corrected impression of FE1
| Publisher: | E. Troupenas & Cie |
| Date: | 1841-1850 |
| Title: | 3me Scherzo |
| Dedication: | son ami Adolphe Gutmann |
There are no direct data available to be used for dating that impression. However, its time frame can be deduced from the following facts:
- FE2 contains corrections of FE1, so it was published later, after December 1840;
- in October 1850, the publishing firm E. Troupenas & Cie. was taken over by G. Brandus.
The corrections referred to above have the nature of editorial revisions – several dozen more or less obvious errors of FE1 were corrected, such as missing flats in bars 14-15, the erroneous note and 
in bars 69-70, the octave sign in bars 282-283 or two-note chords in L.H. in bars 345-347. Some of those changes are only apparently obvious, e.g. added naturals in bar 95, and particularly the change of the correct f1 to g
1 in bar 297. That last-mentioned intervention makes Chopin's participation in the origination of FE2 seem rather improbable.
Many other errors and inaccuracies of FE1 remained uncorrected, among them: wrong notes in bars 103, 134, 139-140, missing naturals in bar 122, missing quaver flags in bar 113.
There exist copies of FE2 dating from the 1850s re-edition by Brandus et Cie, with the plate number B. et Cie 6483 added on the first page of the musical text.
