EE3 - Corrected impression of EE2


Publisher: Wessel & Co.
Date: 1836-1837
Title: Douze Grandes Etudes || No. IV
Dedication: ses amis J. Liszt et Ferd. Hiller

Corrected impression of EE2 in which the majority of its defects was corrected, e.g., the overlooked accidentals, accents and dynamic hairpins were added (see the characteristics of EE2). Moreover, slurs were completed, e.g., in bars 7, 38 or 68, as well as  at the end of the Etude. In addition, certain revisions, not always justified, were introduced on the basis of comparisons of analogous fragments, e.g.,  was added in bar 12 or accents in bars 20 and 22.

EE3 was renewed on a number of occasions with different covers. In the presented copy, the cover includes the information on the already published Etudes Op. 25, thus it dates back at least to 1838. In even later copies provided only with the collective cover of the "Wessel & Co's Complete Collection of the Compositions of Frederick Chopin" series, the dedication is shortened – without "ses amis" and only with the initial of (F) Hiller.
