I have a 1923 Soviet edition of the pair. No.1 is quite close to an undated Édition Russe de Musique copy that recently fell into my hands. Differences between the 1959 Collected Edition (Dover) and the 1923 are given below. No.1 also features in an anthology published in 1941 in New York. I will extend the comparison to include the New York edition and the ERM in due course.
Note the misprint in the 1959 edition in bar 51 of Op 20 no 2. Many performers have not spotted this even though E natural is musically incorrect in the context of the previous and following bars.
Op 20 no 1
There are no fingerings in the 1923 edition.
- Bars 9, 43
1923: upper stems in the LH absent
- Bar 16
1923: diminduendo hairpin missing
- Bar 18
1923: hairpins absent
- Bar 21
1923: only the lower C (LH, start of the bar) is present
1923: half-note C in RH tied to preceding C in LH
- Bar 28
1923: LH hairpins absent
- Bar 30
1923: comma at bar end absent
- Bar 31
1923: hairpins, (p) and comma absent
- Bar 32
1923: pedal mark and (p) absent
- Bar 33
1923: Gb tied between the 2nd and 3rd notes of the triplet in RH 3rd beat
- Bar 36
1923: comma absent
- Bar 37
1923: senza ritardare, sfrenatamente absent
- Bars 38, 41
1923: f absent at start of bar
- Bar 39
1923: whole note is accented
- Bar 47
1923: sempre marcato il basso absent
- Bar 49
1923: sempre calmando (ma a tempo) absent
- Bar 51
1923: calando absent
Op 20 no 2
The title "Campanella" and the subtitle are absent from the 1923 edition. It also lacks the indications tenebroso and sempre al rigore di tempo e sostenuto, reiterated in the footnote of the 1959 edition. These are all handwritten additions to Medtner's own copy of the original edition (reproduced in Natascha Konsistorum's biography) except that Medtner's footnote reads "Whoever finds it boring to play this al rigore di tempo had better leave this piece alone". As Barrie Martyn points out in his biography, Medtner was so insistent on this point that he wrote out the marking separately on each of the nine pages.
Not all recordings observe Medtner's instruction.
The 1923 edition has no pedal marks.
- Bar 1
1923: tenebroso and sempre con poco Pedale absent
- Bars 29, 33
1923: hairpin dynamic absent
- Bar 34
1923: dolce absent
- Bar 50
1923: accents on first chord in RH and LH absent
- Bar 51
1923: Eb not E in the LH. This is an obvious error in the 1959 edition. Medtner plays Eb, but some performers play E natural
- Bars 62-64
1923: tenuto marks absent
- Bar 66
1923: accent on C in RH absent
- Bar 70
1923: fp absent
- Bars 73-74
1923: hairpin crescendo to f absent
- Bars 76-77
1923: hairpin diminuendo absent
- Bar 78
1923: meno f cantabile absent
- Bars 82-95
1923: all dynamics except the ff in bar 90 absent
- Bars 98, 100
1923: hairpin in LH absent
- Bars 109-113
1923: RH accents absent; ff and hairpin in bar 113 absent
- Bar 117
1923: RH accents absent
- Bars 121-122
1923: hairpin crescendo from start of bar 121 to halfway through bar 122
1959: dimin to mf
- Bar 126
1923: ff absent
- Bars 131-end
1923: lacks sempre ff, sempre al rigore di tempo al fine, the long slur in the RH, and the two ff marks at the end. The fingerings of the 1959 edition appear without the misprinted 1 on the E# of bar 134. The low B in the final bar is an eighth-note followed by two eight-note rests; the 1959 edition is clearly in error in giving quarter-notes.
