EE1 is based on a proof copy of FE1 that did not contain the group of last changes introduced by Chopin – see the characterization of FE1. The edition does not bear any traces of Chopin's participation in its development; however, it was revised:
- the erroneously shortened R.H. slur in b. 5-6 was prolonged, after the analogous places;
- the
hairpin in b. 12-13 was shortened; - the inaccurate slurs of FE in b. 12-13 were revised;
- the superfluous
before f
1 in b. 22 was removed; - a
was added in b. 45, lowering e1 to e
1; - the hairpin in b. 55 was moved;
- the erroneous
in b. 76 was corrected; - the beginning of the slur in b. 79 was moved;
- b1 was changed to b1 in b. 82 – it is the most significant intervention of EE1 in the Stichvorlage's text.
The copy of EE1 presented in mUltimate Chopin probably comes from the beginning of 1843, which is indicated by the content of the title page*.
