b. 11

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

..

GE (→EE1,IE) has  before the highest note of the 2nd R.H. chord, which if read literally would give e2. The error probably occurred during proofreading – the  should have been added before the top note of the next chord. The mistake was corrected in FE and EE2.

b. 12

composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor

..

In FE1, a  is placed before the 4th quaver, where it has no justification. That obvious error was corrected both in FE2 and in EE. GE has the correct text as well.

b. 12

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

..

In GC (→GE) and FE1 (→FE2→EE1) there are no naturals raising the 10th quaver to d1(2), which in this context is a patent oversight. The sign in the R.H. was added in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4,FE5), whereas in FE5 a  was added also in the L.H. A natural in the part of the R.H. is also in Afin, in which, due to the abbreviated way of notation of the L.H., it refers to both hands.

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

Slur in Atut

Slur in FE (→GE,EE)
..

Both endings of the carelessly written slur in Atut fall between notes – we interpret them as "embracing," hence concerning only these notes that are actually under the slur. In the main text, however, we adopt the version of FE (→GE,EE), which is uncontroversial, as far as the musical and graphic issues are concerned, and which can also be considered an interpretation of the slur of Atut.

b. 12-36

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

Minim in Afrag, A1 & GE

Dotted minim in FE (→EE)
..

According to us, prolonging the b minim with a dot in b. 12 and 36 is not musically justified due to the transfer of that element an octave higher in the last chord and due to the absence of a direct continuation of the tenor sound plane. It is most probably a revision provoked by the two-part notation of the G-b tenth in A1 (→FE→EE), which makes an impression of being metrically incomplete (in GE Chopin already used the one-part notation to write the tenth). Similar differences also appear in analogous b. 68.
