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

Second impression of FE1, prepared soon after the first one. In the entire Concerto, ca 30 corrections were performed, mostly concerning pitch mistakes. Chopin's participation in the proofreading of FE2 is highly likely, although the majority of the changes are corrections of mistakes that anyone comparing the text with the base text could find. The proofreading probably consisted of two phases (cf. the characterization of EE1). In this movement of the Concerto, a  lowering d1 to d1 in bar 2 was added.

FE2 was then reissued on several occasions, with minor modifications of the cover (e.g. the price was changed). Later impressions were implemented by Schlesinger's successor, Brandus. The copy presented in mUltimate Chopin comes from 1852-1859 and its cover belongs to one of those impressions.
