EE4 - Revised impression of EE3


Publisher: Wessel & Co.
Date: 1858
Title: Douze Grandes Etudes || No. II
Dedication: F. Liszt et F. Hiller

Much later impression of EE3 in which the text was subject to a quite significant review, introducing, among others, certain arbitrary changes and additions:

  • accidentals, particularly cautionary ones, were added, in the L.H. in bars 2 (14, 37, 41), 19, 27, 29, in the R.H. in bars 7-8, 18-19, 22, 25, 31;
  • ties sustaining b were added in bar 4 and analog. and other slurs in bars 29 and 31-32;
  •   was moved in bar 30.

Some of the changes were most probably introduced on the basis of comparison with GE3 – it is suggested also by some of the poorly justified additions of accidentals, e.g., at the beginning of bar 25, as well as the change in bar 30.
