b. 73-74

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

a1 tied in FE (→EE)

a1 repeated in GE
..

The missing tie of a1 is probably a mistake, although it cannot be ruled out that the tie was omitted to give meaning to the accent under the a1 minim in b. 74.

b. 73-86

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

c1 tied in FE (→GE) & EE2

c1 repeated in EE1
..

The missing ties of c1 in b. 73-74 and 85-86 in EE1, unless it is a double oversight, indicate that they were added in FE (→GE) in the last phase of proofreading. The ties were added in EE2.

b. 74-86

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

3 shorter, 1 longer slur in FE

4 shorter slurs in GE

3 longer slurs, 1 shorter in EE

4 longer slurs suggested by the editors
..

In b. 74, 75, 77 and 86 the slurs over the L.H. part in FE are thrice led to the last quaver (d1 or b) and only once – in b. 75 – to the crotchet ending the motif. According to us, it is probably an inaccuracy, and the slurs should always reach the last note, like in the R.H. In GE the slurs were unified by shortening the one in b. 75; it may be an inaccuracy. In turn, in EE the slur in b. 74 was extended (the range of the slur in b. 86 is vague).

b. 76

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

No slur in FE (→GE,EE1)

Slur in EE2

[Slur] suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest adding the slur after the authentic slur in analogous b. 88 (as well as in b. 73 and 85). The slur was also added in EE2. See also the next note.

b. 77

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

[>] suggested by the editors
..

The missing accent in the sources is most probably a mistake: the mark is present in analogous b. 89, while a moment of distraction (of the engraver of FE or of Chopin himself) is indicated by the overlooked slur in the previous bar. We suggest two variants of the addition, compliant with the general doubt concerning the length of the accents in the Semplice section.
