GE2Db - Second German edition of Waltz No 1


Publisher: Breitkopf & Härtel
Date: ca 1855-1856
Plate number: 7715
Title: Valse
Dedication: None

Second, revised German edition of this Waltz. A number of changes was introduced in it, among others, the manner of notation of repetition of bars 21-36 was changed, most probably in order to precisely write the arbitrarily added tie sustaining f2 in bar 36 to the 1st quaver of the triplet in bar 21. Moreover:

  • cautionary signs were added, e.g., a  before e1 in bar 29 and 101, g2 in bar 33 and 105; the signs in bars 93 and 95, present in a similar context, were overlooked (!);
  • ties sustaining a1 in bars 36-37 and f2 in bars 40-41 were added;
  • slurring in the R.H. in bars 45-46, 52-53 and 61-64 was changed;
  •  in bar 76 was removed (correction of a mistake);
  • the dynamic hairpin in bars 87-92 was completed and corrected.
