b. 220

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

No marking in GC (→GE)

in FE (→EE)
..

Same as in bar 32, the absence of  in GC (→GE) is probably an oversight of the copyist.

Due to the reasons discussed for the slurs of the L.H., we suggest the version with the ties of c3 and c2.

b. 221

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

c3 in GC (→GE)

No c3 in chord in FE (→EE)
..

Same as in bar 219, the absence of the c3 note in the 2nd chord is certainly an oversight of the engraver of FE (→EE).

b. 222-224

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

Slur in GC

No slur in FE! (→FE2)

Slur in GE & FE3 (→FE4)

Slur in EE
..

The slur added – most probably by Chopin – in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4) clearly shows that according to the composer's intention, it was not supposed to reach the next bar. The longer slur of EE may be considered in this situation an inaccurate interpretation of the slur added in the base text by Chopin (cf. bars 36-37) or an editorial revision on the basis of the analogous place of the first section of Scherzo.
