GE1a - Retouched impression of GE1


Publisher: Breitkopf & Härtel
Date: 1841⇒
Plate number: 5654
Title: Second Concerto
Dedication: Madame la Comtesse Delphine Potocka née de Komar

Later impressions of GE1, in which minor retouches of mainly graphic nature were gradually being introduced (see the characterization of GE1a in the 1st mov. of the Concerto). Due to the engravers' inadvertence, some of the changes led to undesirable alterations in the text, e.g. the  sign and the long accent were overlooked at the end of p. 29 in bar 235, whereas in bar 236 – dots marking the range of the octave sign. In the copies that are later than the one presented in our system*, this kind of retouches were introduced also on p. 25 (without essential defects) and 28, where the slur in bar 206 was erroneously shortened.
