GE3 - Third German edition


Publisher: Fr. Kistner
Date: circa 1850
Plate number: 1018
Title: Douze Grandes Etudes
Dedication: SON AMI F. LISZT

Third German edition, in which a few revisions of the text of GE2 were performed: the mistake at the end of bar 44 was corrected, a pedal change mark was added in bars 51-52, as well as in bars 57-58 (unnecessarily).

In GE3 a number of mistakes was committed, e.g.: omitting the pedalling in bars 9-10 and  marks in bars 29 and 31, an erroneous rest in bars 45-46, overlooking the slur in the R.H. in bars 53-54, omitting the fermata in bar 79.

There are copies of GE3 which differ in the cover details. The presented copy stems from the latest known reprint, ca. 1860. The handwritten entries (in pencil and crayon) visible in it do not have any source value.
