Issues : Errors of GC

b. 40

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

..

In GC and FE1 (→FE2FE3FE5) there is no  before the 1st note in the R.H. This patent, from the harmonic point of view, mistake was corrected in GE, EE and FE4 (in the case of the last two editions, Chopin's proofreading cannot be excluded). A natural was added in FES too.

New slur in A & GE

No slur in GC

Continued slur in FE & EE

..

In A, a new slur starts undoubtedly in bar 42. However, this was not understood by FE and EE. The slur was overlooked in GC but was correctly added in GE.

Fingering in GC (→GE)

Fingering in FE

Fingering in EE1 (→EE2)

Fingering in EE3

Combined suggestion by the editors

..

The fingering versions of GC (→GE) and FE complement each other (and they generally overlap). In turn, the version of EE1 (→EE2) is most probably incomplete and erroneous.

b. 41

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

..

The chord filling this bar has an erroneous value of a minim in GC. It may prove the copyist's having confused bars 41 and 42. The mistake was corrected already in GE1.

Crotchet & quaver in A (→FE,EE)

No quaver in GC

Dotted crotched in GE

..

GC overlooked the c quaver in the L.H. GE amended this version by adding an extending dot next to the crotchet. Cf. bar 28.
