GE2 - Second German edition
Publisher: | Breitkopf & Härtel |
Date: | ca 1862 |
Plate number: | 7714 |
Title: | Trois Mazourkas |
Dedication: | Madame la Comtesse Laure Czosnowska |
A number of adjustments were made in GE2:
- the unclear slur in bars 16-17 has been clarified,
- the slur was shortened at the turn of bars 20-21, probably due to the shortening of the slur in bars 16-17,
- the slur was moved in bar 24,
- added staccato dot in bar 27,
- moved to bar 31,
- added cautionary at B in bar 60,
- signs of pedal release, which were already overlooked in FE, were added in bars 62 and 65,
- a slur was added in bar 72, although it was not compatible with the slur in bar 71,
- pedaling added in bars 72-74.
Some of the above adjustments seem to be accurate, e.g. adding a staccato dot in bar 27 or a natural in bar 60. Completing oversights and omissions (pedal markings in bars 62, 65 and 72-74 or a slur in bar 72) also was certainly advisable, but according to the editors, the solutions proposed by the reviser are mostly inapt, as are shifted slurs in bars 16-17, 20-21, 24 or a displaced pedal release sign in bar 31.
This edition corrects some mistakes made in GE1:
- added were missing pedal release signs in bars 3-4,
- the unclear slur in bars 16-17 has been clarified,
- added was an overlooked sign in bar 17.
At the same time, several obvious errors have not been corrected, including: the lack of slurs in bars 22-23 or the omission of restoring d2 in bar 49. There are also new mistakes in the text:
- the slur in bar 32 was shortened,
- a staccato dot was overlooked in bar 75.
