GE1 is based on FC, Chopin took no part in its preparation. In the entire Op. 28 GE1 contains many adjustments and errors – see Prelude in C no. 1. There are copies of GE1 which have differing covers, and the edition was also published in a version of 4 fascicules containing 6 preludes each.
In this Prelude the most significant arbitrary changes concern the rhythmic values of two roulades, in b. 8 and 12, in which semiquavers were changed to demisemiquavers. In turn, the most serious mistake is the overlooked e
1 note in the passage in b. 17. Moreover, naturals were added, hence definitely determining the sound of the last notes in b. 12 as d and d1.
