b. 42-44

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

Slurs in GC (→GE1)

Slurs in FE, EE & GE2 (→GE3)

..

The slur of the L.H. in GC (→GE1) is certainly erroneous – the copyist, probably confused with the transition into the new line, wrote in bars 43-44 a slur which was supposed to concern bars 42-43.

b. 42

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

e in GC & GE2

g in GE1 (→GE2mar)

f in FE (→EE)

..

Both the version of GC (introduced later in GE2) and of GE1 (→GE2mar) are most probably a mistake. In the main text, we give the only correct version of FE (→EE).

The fingering numerals, in GC (→GE1) misplaced under the grace notes, were arbitrarily changed in GE2 (→GE3) to the staccato wedges.

b. 45-46

composition: Op. 25 No 9, Etude in G♭ major

5 fingering digits in GC (→GE1) & GE3

4 digits in FE & EE2 (→EE3)

No fingering in EE1

6 digits in GE2

..

In the main text we give the complementary fingering of GC (→GE1) and FE and EE, although it is possible that it was only the latter that was given by Chopin, as the copyist, having in front of him these four numerals, could have mistaken the figures and, after having correctly written the first two ones, could have added the last three four semiquavers further. In GE2, the third numeral was added in bar 45, whereas in GE3, the alleged return to the version of GE1 can be a result of the blurry imprint of this numeral.

b. 46

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

In GC the 1st note was erroneously written a third lower – instead of F1 there is D1. The mistake was corrected in GE.
