b. 125-127

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In AsI the following quavers: g3 in b. 125, c4 and e4 in b. 126 and b2, e2 and d2 in the 1st volta of b. 127 are written as crotchets – they lack quaver flags. The first two of those mistakes (next to g3 and c4) were repeated in A. The editions contain the right text.

b. 125

composition: Op. 30 No. 4, Mazurka in C# minor

poco stretto in FC (→GE)

calando in FE (→EE)
..

The differing performance markings of FC and FE were independently introduced by Chopin both in the copy and in the stage of proofreading FE (or in the basis for it) – see the note on the filiation of the Mazurkas. In the main text we give the version of the principal source (FC), but the second version may be regarded as an equal option.

b. 125-127

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

L.H. accents in PE, contextual interpretation

R.H. accents in GE
..

Assigning the accents to the R.H. part must be a mistake by the engraver of GE. Although the version of PE is not clear from the graphical point of view, the natural addressee of these accents are the distinct L.H. minims resulting from syncopation.

b. 125

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

..

In PE1 (→PE2) there is no  lowering f2 to f2. The patent mistake was corrected in GE. A natural to this note was also added in PE3 (→PE4); however, it was placed on the wrong side of the note – right.
