Not being sure of the spelling of the last name of the princess, Chopin asked Fontana (in the letter dated 6 Oct. 1841)  to find it out from the princess herself or from her governess: "I don't know how Mme Czerniszew spells her name [...]: is it Tscher, or Tcher? [...], whether it is Elisabeth, and whether Tschernischef, or ff [...]". As GE and FE2 differ in that respect, it seems natural to assume that the later-published FE2 presents the spelling checked by Chopin. The dedication in EE2 was repeated after GE.
