b. 164

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

a in chord in FE (→GE)

No a in EE
..

The absence of a in EE must be a mistake. However, it is uncertain whether it was committed in EE – there is some evidence that this version was initially also in FE, in which, however, Chopin corrected it in the last stage of proofreading. See the previous note.

b. 166

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

Dotted crotchet in FE

Crotchet in GE & EE
..

In the case of such a small element as an augmentation dot, put in an atypical place, a double, independent oversight cannot be completely ruled out. However, it seems more likely that Chopin added this dot in the last stage of proofreading FE, after the copies serving as the bases for GE and EE had been sent.

b. 166-168

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

..

In EE1 the naturals before e2 in bars 166 and 168 (after the first crotchet) were omitted. Obvious errors were corrected in EE2.

b. 168-170

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

2 slurs to e2 in A

Slur to d2 in GE (→IE)

No slurs in FE & EE
..

As was the case 4 bars earlier, the shorter top slur in GE (→IE) is probably a revision, while the omission thereof – mistakes by FE and EE. On the other hand, such a double oversight in unrelated sources seems highly unlikely. Therefore, it is possible that the slur was added to GE1 after the remaining editions had been prepared (see bar 225), while its presence in IE resulted from an independent revision, introduced by analogy with bars 164-165.

The omission of the d2-e2 slur in bars 169-170 in all editions is almost certainly an oversight – in A the slur is poorly visible.
