EE2 - Amended impression of EE1


Publisher: Wessel & Co.
Date: (1838-1840)
Plate number: (W & Co. No. 1644.)
Title: La Favorite. Ballade
Dedication: Monsieur le Baron de Stockhausen

In EE2 a number of changes was introduced, including both accurate additions (e.g. a  restoring c2 in bar 34 or flats lowering a(1) to a(1) in bar 89) and arbitrary, certainly erroneous changes, e.g. addition of a  raising f1(2) to f1(2) at the beginning of bar 45 and 47 (perhaps on the basis of a comparison with GE).

The presented copy comes from a later impression, in which the individual title page was replaced by a collective one, featuring a list of Chopin's pieces published by Wessel. The contents of this list allow us to date this copy to 1844.
