FE2 - Corrected impression of FE1
| Publisher: | Maurice Schlesinger |
| Date: | VII 1833⇒ |
| Title: | Etudes || No. 5 |
| Dedication: | son Ami J. Liszt |
Second impression of FE1, probably performed shortly after the first. In this Etude the text of FE2 is no different than the one of FE1.
There are copies differing in the cover details: in the majority the error in the initial "J. Liszt" was corrected to "F. Liszt", and after Oct. 1837 the indication "Ier. Livre" (1st book) was added 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 described mistake. An example of a copy with corrected cover is FES.
FE3
In Dec. 1842, after purchasing the rights to the Etudes by Henry Lemoine, FE2 was provided with a new cover and its plate number was changed to 2775. HL. No major changes were introduced to the score, printed from original Schlesinger's plates. Examples of FE3 presented in mUltimate Chopin are two pupil's copies, FED and FEJ.
