EEW1 - First English edition
Publisher: | Wessel & Co |
Date: | IX 1848 |
Plate number: | W & Co.No. 6323 |
Title: | Valse |
Dedication: | Mademoiselle la Comtesse Catherine Branicka |
We consider the edition performed by the Wessel & Co. company, which had cooperated with Chopin for several years and published in England almost all his works, to be the main representative of English editions. Due to this reason, despite EEC having appeared earlier, it is to EEW1 that we give the name of the first English edition.
The edition generally reproduces the text of FE1. The exceptions are either mistakes, e.g., an erroneous note in bar 66 or absence of the tie of c in bars 75-76, or revisions:
- replacing the octave with a chord at the end of bar 85,
- adding cautionary flats in bars 161 and 163,
- changing the slurring in bars 161-165.
