FE2 - Corrected impression of FE1
| Publisher: | Maurice Schlesinger |
| Date: | VII 1833⇒ |
| Title: | Etudes || No. 8 |
| Dedication: | son Ami J. Liszt |
Second impression of FE1, probably performed soon after the first one. It adds a few omitted accidentals (in bars 57-59, 72 and 94), as well as corrects pitch errors in bars 59, 61 and 74. Chopin's participation in a proofreading of FE2 seems to be plausible.
There are copies differing in the cover details: in the majority of them the error in the initial "J. Liszt" was corrected to "F. Liszt", and after Oct. 1837, the indication "Ier. Liver" (1st book) was added in order to differentiate it from the just published Etudes, Op. 25. The copy presented in our system, with Chopin's handwritten dedication to Napoleon Orda, belongs to the earliest, as its cover still includes the cover with the described error. FES is an example of a copy with a corrected cover.
FE3
In Dec. 1842, after the rights to the Etudes had been purchased by Henry Lemoine's publishing house, FE2 was provided with a new cover and the plate number was changed to 2775. HL. No changes were introduced to the score, printed from Schlesinger's original plates. In mUltimate Chopin we present two pupil's copies, FED and FEJ, which can serve as an example of FE3.
