b. 155-156

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

..

In A in bar 155 Chopin wrote flats only to d1 in the R.H. and to d in the L.H. The remaining necessary accidentals were added in GE (→FE,EE,IE). In A in bar 156 there is only one  to g2. The other necessary  was added in EE1 (→EE2) and in the remaining editions.

b. 156

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

..

In A Chopin overlooked some of the necessary accidentals: naturals before d, d2 and a. The first and third of these patent inaccuracies were corrected already in GE1 (→FE); the fully correct text is in EE and GE2. In the main text we also add a cautionary  before b2 at the beginning of the bar.

b. 156-157

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

In A (→FE), there is no  to the 6th quaver in b. 156 (f2). Chopin's patent inaccuracy was corrected by GE and EE.
In the main text we add cautionary flats to e1/2/3 in b. 156 and to the L.H. e1 in b. 157. Flats were added also by GE, and the one in b. 157 also by EE3.

In A the  hairpin's arms are of different length, hence their intended range remains unclear. To the A text we adopt the range marked by the top arm, which was written first. This is the version we give in the main text. However, the version adopted by GE, based on the range of the bottom arm, can be considered an equal variant. In these sources cresc. begins only just in bar 157. The FE (→EE) version is probably also authentic, in which there is only one crescendo indication instead of two, that is cresc. from bar 156.
