Issues : Errors in EE

b. 12-14

composition: Op. 28 No. 16, Prelude in B♭ minor

4 slurs in A (→FE,FC→GE) & EE2

1 slur in EE1
..

The missing slur running from the last L.H. quaver in b. 12 and two subsequent ones in b. 13-14 in EE is a patent mistake of the engraver of that edition.
In FC the beginning of the first of those slurs is missing, which – at least theoretically – results in an ambiguity, as far as the presence or range of that slur is concerned, since the next bar is marked in the manuscripts in an abridged manner as a repetition of b. 12. We assume – like GE, based on FC – that the slur at the beginning of b. 13 is to be taken into account, in its full range, which means that it should also encompass the last quaver in b. 12.

b. 13-17

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

Slur to bar 17 in A1 (→FE)

Slur to end of bar 16 in GE

No slur in EE
..

In the main text we give the more natural slur of GE. The absence of a slur in EE must be a mistake, perhaps repeated after the proof copy of FE1.

b. 13

composition: Op. 28 No. 1, Prelude in C major

..

In EE1 the last semiquaver in the R.H. in the 1st half of the bar is an erroneous a1 instead of an f1. The mistake was rectified in EE1a (→EE2).

b. 13

composition: Op. 28 No. 6, Prelude in B minor

Quavers in A (→FE,FC→GE)

Crotchet in EE
..

The EE version is certainly an engraver's mistake overlooked by the revisers of the subsequent impressions.

b. 13

..

EE erroneously has e as the 2nd L.H. semiquaver.
