Dedicatee

The names of dedicatees have not been standardised; thus, in the German first edition of Op. 10, the dedicatee is shown in Book 1 as ‘J. Liszt’, and in Book 2 as ‘F. Liszt’. There may however be minor differences between the name of the dedicatee as found in a given witness overview and in the actual score, owing to the policy on typography described under Title. Most of the dedications in Chopin’s first editions are located on title pages. A number of works lack any dedication. For some opuses the names of different dedicatees can be found in the respective editions brought out in France, Germany and England.
