GE4 - Fourth German edition


Publisher: Fr. Kistner
Date: 1865
Title: Douze Grandes Etudes || No. 6
Dedication: SON AMI F. LISZT

In the fourth German edition, next to the until then published form of a book with six pieces, particular Etudes were also published as single works, as a result of which each of them received an additional plate number between 2961 and 2972 and the second independent pagination. In GE4 a number of revisions was performed, e.g., unnecessary accidentals in bars 3-4 and 28 and the superfluous fingering digit in bar 51 were removed, a cautionary  before c1 in bar 8 and before b and b1 in bar 20 was added, the slur in bar 3 and  in bar 48 were extended. However, it is not devoid of errors, e.g., lack of a  before d1 in bar 40.

The annotations in pencil, visible in the presented copy, are of no source value.
