GE2 - Second German edition


Publisher: Breitkopf & Härtel
Date: 1864-71
Title: Ballade
Dedication: Robert Schumann

A new edition, in which the majority of the errors of both the base text (GC) and GE1 were corrected, particularly in terms of missing accidentals, wrong pitch or inaccurate slurs. Some of the revisions of the editor corrected the mistakes of GC which were incompatible with the composer's intention, e.g. adding an extending dot next to the crotchet in the L.H. in bar 42
