FC - Fontana's copy
| Date: | (II-III) 1839 |
| Title: | Vingt-quatre Préludes |
| Dedication: | Monsieur Camille Pleyel |
Copy of A made by Julian Fontana (lost, known from a photocopy) as the basis for the first German edition. As a whole, the copyist duplicated the text of A carefully, nonetheless making a number of mistakes, e.g. he omitted the arpeggio sign in b. 1, a L.H. slur in b. 7, the f2 crotchet in b. 16, he copied the R.H. slurs in b. 4-5 and 6-9 erroneously or inaccurately (for a list of more important flaws of FC in the whole Op. 28 see Prelude in C no. 1). Chopin did not correct FC.
The pencilled additions visible in b. 13 and 18 – above all the correction of the wrong clef in the first out of those bars and the addition of the overlooked clef in the second – come from a long-time owner of the manuscript, Hermann Scholtz, editor of a later edition of the Preludes (Peters, Leipzig, 1879).
