b. 6

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

No marks in Atut

Wedges in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The wedges added in FE (→GE,EE) most probably result from Chopin's proofreading.

b. 6-7

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Long accent in A (→FC)

in FE (→EE)

Short accent in GE1

in GE2 (→GE3)

The analysis of the  or  markings, written by Chopin in A in these and analogous bars, leads to the conclusion that, despite significant differences in length (from a long accent to a two-bar hairpin), all of them most probably denote long accents. Due to that reason, in the main text we decided to unify them; we adopted a compromise  marking, which is more or less one-bar long. In the remaining sources Chopin did not interfere with the shape of those markings.

b. 6-7

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

FE overlooked the ties of the R.H. chord. The mistake was corrected in EE. The ties are also added in FESf.

b. 6

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In FE (→GE1), there is no  raising b2 to b2. The accidental was added in EE and subsequent GE.

b. 6

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

..

Both autographs are lacking in the  raising a1 to a1. The mistake is also in EE, where it was repeated after the proof copy of FE. In the very FE Chopin added the overlooked accidental; the correct text is also in GE.
