FE1 - First French edition


Publisher: E. Troupenas et Cie
Date: V 1840
Plate number: T. 891
Title: Sonate || Finale
Dedication: None

The earliest known impression of FE, whose copy was deposited by the editor in the Library of the Conservatoire de Paris as an obligatory deposit. In the entire Sonata FE1 includes numerous mistakes (over one hundred), which, together with the absence of the title chart, suggests that it was one of the trial copies, still before proofreadings. In this movement, striking pitch mistakes were committed in bar 394246+1, moreover, all slurs in the final fragment of the piece were overlooked.
