FE1 - First French edition
| Publisher: | E. Troupenas et Cie |
| Date: | V 1840 |
| Title: | Sonate |
| 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. No title page and a significant number of mistakes (several dozen) suggest it was one of the trial copies, still before proofreadings. Only on the 1st page (bars 1-31) the following serious mistakes were committed:
-
no d
1 in bar 3; -
a1-e2 instead of g1-e2 and f1-g2 instead of f1-f2 in bar 18;
-
g1 instead of g1 in bar 23;
-
g1-b1 instead of e1-g1 and g1-a1 instead of e1-f1 in bar 24;
-
B instead of F on the 4th quaver in bar 26;
-
g1-a1-b1 instead of g1-a1-c2 in bar 28.
Among the mistakes in the further part of the piece, one can mention:
-
the absence of naturals before the 2nd crotchet in bars 44 and 48 (A instead of A);
- the absence of the middle voices in the R.H. in bars 70 and 131;
-
g2-b2 instead of e2-g2 in bar 155;
-
F1 instead of B1 as the top bottom note of the final chord (bar 241).
FE1 was based on the same autograph by Chopin which was previously the base text to GC.
