EE2 - Corrected reprint of EE1
| Publisher: | Wessel & Co. |
| Date: | ⇒1840 |
| Title: | Douze Etudes || No. 19 |
| Dedication: | None |
The most significant change introduced in EE2 are naturals changing the E major chords to E minor ones in bars 38-39. It undoubtedly proves the use of FE copy at the time of developing EE2. Chopin fingering in bar 45 was drawn from the same source.
In turn, the most numerous group of arbitrary additions is constituted by the fingering added in bars 13, 21, 22, 24, 26, 27, 28-30 and 57-58, sometimes compatible with the one Chopin wrote in pupil's copies (e.g., in bars 13 and 26, but not always (e.g., in bar 24).
The copy presented in mUltimate Chopin comes from a later impression (1843), in which the individual title page was replaced with the cover of the Wessel & Co's Complete Collection of the Compositions of Frederic Chopin series. EE2 was then reprinted with further versions of this collective cover (completed with next Chopin pieces published by Wessel) until ca. 1858, when certain modifications were performed in the note text (see the characteristics of EE3). EE2 also includes copies of this Etude published separately. All versions of EE2 with a collective cover, as well as those published separately, are devoid of the authentic dedication.
