GE4 - Fourth German edition


Publisher: Fr. Kistner
Date: 1865
Title: Douze Grandes Etudes || No. 4
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 2961-2972 and the second independent pagination. In GE4 there is a number of revisions, e.g., some of the mistakes committed in GE3 were corrected (e.g. in bar 15) and the superfluous accidentals in bars 45 and 46 were deleted. Moreover, conventional slurs to the grace notes in bars 7-8 and 23 and analog. were added. 

The visible in this copy scarce pencilled entries are of no source value.
