GE4 - Revised impression of GE3


Publisher: Breitkopf & Härtel
Date: ca 1867-1869
Plate number: 5707
Title: Polonaisen || Polonaise I
Dedication: son ami J. Dessauer

In the changed impression of GE3 a few arbitrary revisions were performed, i.a.:

  • the dedication was removed;
  • cautionary signs in bars 711 and 70 were added;
  • a flat lowering c2 in bar 65 was arbitrarily added.

Moreover, the notation of the voices in the L.H. in bar 19 was corrected, by adding the missing crotchet stem.
At the same time, a few minor errors were made, probably resulting from the engraver's inaccuracies: an accent in bar 33 was overlooked, same as a staccato dot in bar 53.
