b. 121

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

A long accent in A

A short accent in GE (→FE→EE)
..

A typical long accent appearing in A was reproduced as a short one in GE (→FE→EE).

b. 121-122

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

e1 tied in FE & EE

e1 repeated in GE
..

In GE1 (→GE2→GE3) the engraver undoubtedly overlooked the tie sustaining e1.

b. 121-122

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

Crotchets in A

Quavers in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The notation with no additional crotchet stems to the 2nd and 4th quavers is probably inaccurate.

issues: Inaccuracies in FE

b. 121-122

composition: Op. 25 No 5, Etude in E minor

No slur in FC (→GE) & FE

Slur in EE
..

The slur of EE is probably authentic, which would support the interpretation of the slur in bars 122-123 as beginning from the 2nd crotchet. However, an editorial revision cannot be entirely excluded here (the same applies to the staccato dot under the bass E at the beginning of bar 122).

b. 121-123

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

..

In GC, in the part of the L.H., only the top notes of the octaves were written. The bottom ones were written in an abbreviated manner with the help of the con 8va - - - indication.
