GE2 - Revised impression of GE1


Publisher: Breitkopf & Härtel
Date: (1868)
Plate number: 6088
Title: Vingt-quatre Préludes
Dedication: Son ami J. C. Kessler

GE2 corrected both errors of GE1 listed in its description (bar 2 and 30), as well as a repeated after manuscripts, mistaken number in the tuplet marking in bar 79.

It also introduced a number of different kind of arbitrary revisions:

  •  lowering c1 to c1 in b. 12 was added (apt revision),
  • octaves changed to sixths in b. 33 and 49 (bafflingly apt revision),
  • the bottom note of the 1st chord in b. 70 changed from d1 to e1 (arguable revision),
  •  mark was added in b. 83.
