EE1 repeats the text of FE1 with a number of additions, not avoiding certain errors, e.g. in bar 14. Chopin did not take part in its preparation.
Revisions of EE1 include performance markings (e.g. L.H. slurs in bars 1-2) and added accidentals (e.g. in bar 5 and bars 27-28, in bar 68). Most performance markings were added on the basis of authentic markings appearing in similar places (accents on g2 in bar 6 and bar 15 or crescendo hairpins and staccato dots bar 19). This edition disregards characteristic anomalies in the notation of the rhythm that can be seen in GE (→FE).
EE1 exhibits the typical features of Wessel's publications: wavy slurs, notation of grace notes and minims and an arbitrarily added title.
