b. 166-167
|
composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete
..
In AsI both chords on the 2nd and 3rd quavers in b. 166 are written down in the treble clef, and in both Chopin wrote the bottom note under a ledger line. The mistake was committed in both versions of this bar as well as on the 2nd quaver in b. 167 in 1. volta. At the same time, in the notation of the first of the five discussed chords (2nd quaver in b. 166, 1. volta), there are only two ledger lines, hence the lowest note is g, whereas in the four remaining ones – three ledger lines, which results in e being the lowest note. In the remaining sources, the notation is correct (it concerns 2. volta only, since these sources do not contain a repetition of the second part of this variation). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources |

b. 176

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella
..
In A and FC3 (→FE→IE) the upper note of the chord on the second beat of LH is a1. It must have been Chopin's error as proven by on this note in A, which has no justification before a1 and it was omitted in FC3 (→FE→IE). The correct text (with f1) in EE must resulted from the editor's revision. However, it seems little probable in incorrect GE1 - f1 may have been found already in [KF1]. Cf. next annotation. A certainly long accent in A was copied wrongly - as a short one - in FC3 (→FE→IE) and EE but omitted in GE. Cf. bars 164-178 . category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Terzverschreibung error , Errors in the number of ledger lines , Errors of A , Errors of FC |

The version of AsI and A with f3 as the topmost note of the chord on the 2nd beat of the bar is almost certainly erroneous, and it was d3 that was intended by Chopin from the very beginning. It is supported by:
What is more, the discussed note is written in A inaccurately, hence in GE1 (→EE) it was reproduced as e3. In GE2 (→GE3,FESB) it was changed to d3, which could have been one of the changes suggested by Chopin, if we were to assume that he took part in the editing of GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Terzverschreibung error , GE revisions , Errors in the number of ledger lines , Errors of A , Inaccurate note pitch in A , Authentic corrections of FE , Inaccuracies in A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in EE |

..
A has an a1 as the last note in the L.H. It is almost certainly a mistake – cf. analogous figures in bars 300, 302 and 304-306. Mistakes in the number of ledger lines are the most frequent pitch errors committed by Chopin (excluding those related to the notation of accidentals). GE (→FE→EE) features the correct text, which can be ascribed to Chopin's proofreading or a fortunate mistake, since there are no visible traces of correction in print, whereas the note in A, despite three ledger lines, is written lower than the previous g1. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors resulting from corrections , Terzverschreibung error , Errors in the number of ledger lines , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of GE |
