EE2 - Corrected reprint of EE1


Publisher: Wessel & Co.
Date: ⇒1840
Title: Douze Etudes || No. 15
Dedication: None

Among the changes introduced in EE2 one can mention:

  • corrections of mistakes in bar 4 and 16;
  • addition of the overlooked accidentals, e.g., in bars 20-28.

The copy presented in mUltimate Chopin comes from a later (1843) impression, in which the individual title page was replaced with a cover of the Wessel & Co's Complete Collection of the Compositions of Frederic Chopin series. EE2 was then reissued with subsequent versions of this collective cover (completed with subsequent Chopin's pieces published by Wessel) until ca. 1858, when certain modifications were performed also in the score (see the characteristics of EE3). EE2 also includes copies of this Etude published separately. All versions of EE2 with the collective cover, as well as these published separately, are devoid of an authentic dedication.
