b. 3

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

e1-c2 in A (→GE) & FE2 (→EE)

e1-b1 in FE1
..

The FE1 version featuring b1 as the topmost note must be erroneous and was corrected – perhaps by Chopin – in FE2 (→EE).

b. 3-4

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

   in A

   in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The changes concerning the range of the dynamic hairpins introduced by GE (→FE,EE,IE) are arbitrary and rather unfounded if we take into account the natural phrasing, considering the direction of the melody and harmonic tensions.

b. 3

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

Slur to c in A (→GE→FE,IE)

No slur in EE1

Slur to d in EE2
..

Both the missing slur in EE1 and the shorter EE2 slur are the engravers' mistakes.

b. 3

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

Staccato dot in A

No mark in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The missing dot is most probably due to an oversight by the GE engraver (→FE,EE,IE).

issues: Errors in GE

b. 4

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

A, FC3 (→FE→IE), EE, GE1
..

In A, FC3 (→FE→IE), EE and GE1 there is no extending dot on minim c1 on the first beat of RH but the dot apears upon the theme’s repetition in corresponding b. 180, which allows us to assume with great probability that b.4 is inaccurate. The relevant revision was already made in GE2 (→GE3→GE4).
