Issues : Omitted correction of an analogous place
b. 376
|
composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor
..
The dotted g minim is the original version, left in A most probably by inadvertence. It is indicated by corrections in two previous analogous places (b. 274 and 295). Chopin's distraction in this place, as well as in the entire second appearance of this section, is proven by a few evident inaccuracies, e.g. the overlooked ties of g-e1 in b. 375-376 and f-f1 in b. 392-393. The versions of FC and GE1 are probably erroneous: the copyist was copying A with a dotted minim, of which the engraver of GE1 could not have been aware. The omission of the dot in GE2 (→GE3) is probably a revision unifying that bar with the three remaining analogous places. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions , Omitted correction of an analogous place , Errors of FC |

The dotted g minim is the original version, left in A (→FC) most probably by inadvertence. The version of FE is probably a mistake, while of GE and EE – revisions. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , GE revisions , Omitted correction of an analogous place |

..
The version of A (→GE) is most probably the original review of this chord, left by inadvertence (haste). It is proved by the undoubtedly Chopinesque proofreading of FE (→EE) and by the corrections visible in A in the repetition of this bar (bar 456). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Omitted correction of an analogous place |

b. 419-423

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

The notation of the sources, in which it is only the 2nd semiquaver of the four-note figure that was separated and prolonged, appears in such a context a few times – the 2nd figure in bars 419 and 421, the 2nd and 3rd figures in bar 423 and both figures in bars 442-443. In terms of rhythmic values, this notation generally does not differ from the notation used in the remaining figures; however, it shows the middle voice in a less precise manner. Therefore, it is difficult to assume that Chopin could have intentionally preserved both notations – according to us, this notation is the original version, left by inadvertence, hence in the main text we give the more precise notation of the remaining figures. Cf. similar figures in the Etude in C minor, op. 10 no. 4, bars 3-11. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

The mark in A, like in analogous b. 332, is most probably a reversed long accent, and this is the version we give in the main text. All the remaining sources reproduced it inaccurately, moving it to the right and sometimes also extending it. We suggest a common long accent as an alternative version, as written by Chopin in FC in analogous b. 332. It is likely that the change was also to apply to the discussed bar: overlooking proofreading one of the analogous places is one of Chopin's typical inaccuracies. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , Omitted correction of an analogous place , Inaccuracies in FC |
