Issues : Errors repeated in EE

b. 30

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In A a few necessary or cautionary accidentals are missing – in the L.H. a  lowering g1 to g1, in the R.H. flats lowering g2 to g2 and c2 to c2 and a  to f2. In GE (→FE,EE) it was only the missing accidental in the L.H. that was added.
In the main text we add the above accidentals as well as a cautionary  to d3.

b. 31

composition: Op. 28 No. 19, Prelude in E♭ major

..

In A (→FC,FE→EE1) there is no  raising e to e. The inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE2.
In the main text we add a cautionary  before g (Chopin added a respective accidental only before g1 in the R.H. part). It was already added in EE.

b. 31

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

FE1 overlooked a quaver flag to the 2nd R.H. octave, f-f1. The mistake was repeated in EE1, and also omitted were the dots prolonging the e-e1 octave. Despite the errors, the correct rhythm results univocally from the alignment of both octaves in relation to the L.H. part. All mistakes were corrected in FE2 and EE2 (→EE3).

b. 33

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

In A (→FE), there is no  before the last semiquaver (e3) in the 1st half of the bar; the  restoring e2 on the 11th small quaver in the 2nd half is missing too. The former was added both by GE and EE; by contrast, none of the editions noticed the absence of the latter.
