b. 49

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

No sign in GC (→GE)

Arpeggio sign in FE (→EE)
..

The arpeggio sign is already present in FE1, based directly on [A], and almost certainly uncorrected by Chopin. This suggests the absence of the sign in GC (→GE) is probably an oversight. Similarly in bar 65.

..

In the main text, we include the added in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4) – most probably by Chopin – sharps raising the f1-f2 grace note to f1-f2. According to us, it was probably a correction of a mistake. Similarly in the recapitulation – bar 242.
