b. 102

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

Staccato dots in A

No dots in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

Our variant suggestion

..

The staccato dots probably represent the initial version of articulation of these crotchets, which Chopin replaced with slurs. It is indicated by the A notation in bar 104, in which the dots over the 2nd and 3rd crotchet were overwritten with a slur (leaving the dot over the 4th crotchet must be considered an oversight in this situation). In the discussed bar all 3 dots present along with slurs remained unremoved, hence in the main text we provide them in a variant form (in brackets). Being convinced of our hypothesis, one can choose the version of the editions, devoid of these dots.

b. 102-105

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

No slurs in FE1 (→GE,EE)

Slurs in R.H. in FEO

Slurs in both hands, our variant suggestion

..

In the main text we include – in a variant form – the R.H. slurs entered most probably by Chopin between bars 102-103 and 104-105. Taking into account their convergence with the principal slurring pattern in this variation, we suggest adding respective slurs in the L.H. part as well.

No fingering in A (→GEFE,IE)

Fingering in b. 103 in EE1

Fingering in b. 102-103 in EE2

..

In the main text, we do not include the inauthentic L.H. fingering added in EE1 and amended in EE2.

b. 103

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

In A there are two naturals written by someone else next to the following notes: a2 (the 4th quaver) and b2 (the 10th quaver) in the R.H. The remaining sources include here – according to the musical sense and analogous bar 21 – cautionary flats.

The mordent sign was overlooked in FE. In analogous bar 21 Chopin added the appropriate sign in the pupils' copies FES and FEJ.
