b. 3

composition: Op. 25 No 8, Etude in D♭ major

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  before e3; the addition was already introduced in GE and repeated in EE3. In GE2 (→GE3) a poorly justified cautionary  was added also before d3 (as well as an erroneous  before the bottom note of the 10th sixth).

b. 3-4

composition: Op. 25 No 10, Etude in B minor

Eight accents in GC (→GE) & EE

Eight  in FE
..

 indications in FE is the original version – in GC one can see that Chopin deleted all of them and replaced them with accents.

b. 3

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

..

In FE1 there is no top note of the chord, d1. The mistake was corrected in FE2; all the remaining sources also include the correct text.

b. 3-8

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

Different length  in A

Longer  in FE (→GE,EE)

Shorter  suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we unify the reach of the  hairpins in bars 3-4 and 7-8, following three out of four signs written in A. In FE1 the signs were unified too, however, it was the sign beginning slightly earlier in bar 4 that was adopted as the model.

b. 3

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

Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering
..

The fingering, added in pencil, most probably by Miss O'Méara, could have been indicated to her by Chopin. Similarly in the R.H. and in bars 4-5.
