First English edition in which the whole Op. 28 was divided into two fascicules bearing consecutive plate numbers (3098 & 3099), and containing respectively 14 and 10 preludes. EE1 is based on FE2; Chopin had no part in preparing the edition. A cross-cutting description of EE1 in the entire Op. 28 is to be found in the Prelude in C major no. 1.
The text of the Prelude in A
major was carefully revised:
- accidentals were added in b. 21, 23, 26, 33, 44-46, 47-50, 51-54 (in b. 52 only cautionary accidentals were added),
- the overlooked dots prolonging the melodic crotchets in b. 38 were added (however, a seemingly similar addition in b. 86-87 is almost certainly a mistake).
Nevertheless, some mistakes remained unnoticed, e.g. the wrong 
before e
1 in b. 22; new mistakes were also committed, e.g. the sharps raising e-e1 to e-e1 in b. 20 were overlooked.
In some cases it is uncertain whether the change with respect to FE2 is an inaccuracy or a revision, e.g. the combined slurs in b. 34-35.
