Dedication: Mademoiselle Caroline Hartmann

A later impression of GE1, dated for 1868-1871, in which a few mistakes were corrected; however, arbitrary revisions were also introduced. The changes cover, e.g.:

  • a half-way correction of the mistake in bar 7,
  • an arbitrary addition of a staccato dot in bar 232,
  • a correct addition of a tie in bar 313,
  • correction of an erroneous note in bars 135, 341,
  • a justified change of a hairpin to an accent in bar 413,
  • addition of a necessary accidental in bar 454.

GE2 did not avoid new mistakes and inaccuracies; they include:

  • a wrongly corrected pitch of a note in bar 99,
  • an incorrect revision of a Terzverschreibung in bar 430.
