FE2 - Corrected impression of FE1


Publisher: Brandus et Cie
Date: (XII 1847-I 1848)
Plate number: B. et Cie 4742
Title: 3 Mazurkas
Dedication: Madame la Comtesse Laure Czosnowska

Second impression of FE1, corrected by Chopin to a greater extent than in FE1.

For the dating see the description of FE1 in the Mazurka in B, no. 1.

While proofreading FE2 Chopin introduced the following modifications:

  • changed the bottom R.H. voice melody in bar 23,
  • added ritenuto and in tempo in bars 24-26,
  • added a  hairpin in bars 24-25,
  • added g to the accompaniment chords in bar 38 – they were already present in As but absent in FE1, which could have been caused by the composer's hesitation or, perhaps, by an oversight;
  • added a mordent in bar 50.

In FE2 the mistake in bar 14 was corrected (change of the erroneous f1 note to the correct gnote). The length of the slur in bar 16 was not changed.
