FE2 - Corrected impression of FE1
| Publisher: | Maurice Schlesinger |
| Date: | VIII-IX 1836 |
| Plate number: | M.S.1940 |
| Title: | Second Concerto |
| Dedication: | Madame la Comtesse Delphine Potocka née de Komar |
A second impression of FE1, prepared soon after the first one. In the entire Concerto, ca. 30 corrections were performed therein, mainly of pitch mistakes. Chopin's participation in the proofreading of FE2 is highly likely, although the majority of the changes are corrections of mistakes that could be found by anyone comparing the text with the Stichvorlage. The proofreading could have had two phases (cf. the characterization of EE1).
The changes include, i.a.:
- correction of the erroneous bass note in bar 143,
-
removal of the erroneous
in bar 203, -
addition of a
raising d
2 to d2 in bar 242, - corrections of Terzverschreibung errors in bar 243, 264,
-
correction of the erroneous to a in bar 298.
FE2 was subsequently reissued, with minor modifications of the cover (e.g. prizes were changed). The later impressions were performed by Schlesinger's successor, Brandus. The copy presented in mUltimate Chopin comes from 1852-1859 and has already a cover of one of those impressions.
