b. 6

composition: Op. 28 No. 24, Prelude in D minor

..

At the end of the bar, one can see a crossed-out  marking in A. Crossings-out of those markings in similar situations are also present at the end of b. 20, 41 and 54.

b. 6-9

composition: Op. 28 No. 23, Prelude in F major

3 slurs in A (→FEEE)

2 slurs in FC (→GE)

..

The slurring of FC (→GE) proves the copyist's distraction, perhaps due to haste. The change between b. 6 and 7 could be explained by an inaccurate interpretation of the ending of the slur added in A (Chopin must have meant leading the slur to the last semiquaver in the bar and not combining it with the next one). The broken slur between b. 7 and 8 probably is an inaccurate interpretation of A (the fragment of the slur at the beginning of b. 8 is poorly visible in A) or a mistake (b. 8 ends the line in FC, just as b. 7, which begins similarly, ends the line in A). The slur at the end of b. 8, which ends the line, implying that it should be continued may have simply been carelessly written down.

No fingering in A (→FE,FCGE)

Fingering in EE

Nothing indicates that the fingering in EE could have come from Chopin.

composition: Op. 28 No. 21, Prelude in B♭ major

..

In FE the  before the 2nd quaver is misplaced: it should be before the bottom note (g), not the top one (e1). The mistake possibly stemmed from the graphical similarity between b. 5 and 6. The correct accidental was added in FES, while FC (→GE) and EE not only added the right flat, but also removed the wrong one.

b. 6

composition: Op. 28 No. 21, Prelude in B♭ major

..

The sources do not contain an accidental before the top note of the third on the 4th quaver in the bar, as a result of which it should be interpreted as e-g. It must be Chopin's inadvertence – the characteristic f(-d1) – e-g e-a sequence appears 10 times throughout the Prelude (excluding this place), always with g, even when it is preceded by a g-e sixth (in b. 41). Analogous sequences are to be found on a number of occasions also in other harmonic contexts, always with a minor third on the second quaver. Therefore, Chopin was fully entitled to consider the  to be obvious in this place.
