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:
- removal of the erroneous e from the last L.H. quaver in bar 57,
- change of the erroneous c
1 to b in bar 66, - correction of the double "Terzverschreibung" in bar 420.
However, an overwhelming majority of mistakes listed in the characterization of GE1 were left uncorrected.
There are copies of GE2 with different covers; those with changed prices were published after 1840.
