b. 3-4

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

One slur in A (→GE) & EE

Two slurs in FE
..

The separated slur is most probably a result of an inaccurate reproduction of the manuscript in FE. Cf. bars 7-8.

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.

issues: Authentic corrections in GC

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.
