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 – in the entire Op. 28 – many errors of GE1, but also introduced a number of arbitrary revisions. Among the corrections introduced into this Prelude, one can mention:

  • change of erroneous f2 to g2 in b. 5,
  • adding accidentals where the reviser of GE1 did not notice the lack thereof, e.g. in b. 13, 26 (correction partially erroneous!).

Other changes include:

  • added cautionary accidentals, e.g. a  before g2 in b. 5 and 13,
  • a tremolo beam added in b. 33.

Some mistakes, even manifest, remained uncorrected, e.g. the wrong notes in b. 21 and 26.
