E & e2(3) in EE2, 25-note run |
In the main text we add cautionary naturals before E in the grace note opening the L.H. trill and before e2-e3 in the R.H. chord. Chopin's oversight resulted in the erroneous revisions of EE1 and EE2 – in the former the R.H. part was only routinely completed, i.e. sharps were added at the beginning of the bar, seemingly obvious after e2 in the last chord in the previous bar. It was only the reviser of EE2 that noticed that such a 'correction' required changes to the L.H. too; changes going beyond the addition of the overlooked accidental in the grace note preceding the trill – it was also the beginning of the roulade ending the trill that had to be changed, since the added before the trill is valid also after the trill, resulting in an omission of E; in turn, we get a doubled E note. Therefore, in an authentic version of the roulade, a decision was taken to remove the second note.
As the revision introduced into EE1 results in a clearly erroneous text, in the content transcription (version 'edited text'), we raise E to E before the trill (and in the trill itself) and add a restoring E in the second note of the scale following the trill, which eliminates the repetition of E, certainly unintentional.
