GE2 - Corrected impression of GE1


Publisher: Fr. Kistner
Date: ⇒1840
Plate number: 1020.1021.1022
Title: Grand Concerto
Dedication: Monsieur Fréd. Kalkbrenner

The second impression of GE1, correcting a few mistakes. Judging from the insignificant number of changes that resemble local corrections rather than a systematic proofreading (some of the evident mistakes were left unchanged), GE2 was probably released soon after GE1. Anyway, until 1840, when a monetary reform enforced a change of prices on the covers, two impressions of GE2 had been prepared (differing in their covers only). Therefore, it seems to be likely that the earliest was released a few years earlier, more or less in 1834-1837.

The changes introduced in GE2 include:
  • change of the erroneous  to  before a2 on the 3rd beat of bar 42,
  • removal of the erroneous  changing f2 to f2 in bar 96,  

However, a number of mistakes was left uncorrected, e.g. three erroneous notes listed in the characterization of GE1 (bars 82, 93 and 123).

There are copies of GE2 with different covers; those with changed prices were published after 1840.
