b. 414

The inaccurately reproduced staccato mark in GE1 (→GE2), dot instead of wedge, was restored in GE3, probably after the base text or an analogy.

3 long accents in A & FE

 & > in GE1

3 short accents in EE & GE2

..

Three clearly long accents written in A were reproduced in GE1, without any apparent reason, in an explicitly varied manner. However, FE restored the notation of A, which could be seen as Chopin's proofreading. Both in EE and GE2 the Chopinesque long accents were reproduced as common short accents.

b. 416-419

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

cresc. - - in FE

No dashes in GE

..

The dashes marking the range of crescendo were omitted in GE, as in many other places in the Rondo. In EE, the indication – within the marked range – was divided into syllables what is a revision, typical of the English publisher.

Slurs in A (contextual interpretation) & GE2

Slurs in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

In A bar 420 is the last one on the page, whereas the slur written with a flourish clearly indicates continuation in the next bar. However, there is no ending of this slur in bar 421, which could have reassured the engraver of GE1 of his whole-bar approach (moreover, the traces of corrections visible in bars 420 and 421 suggest that each of these bars was initially encompassed with one slur; the erroneous division of the slur at the beginning of bar 421 was then corrected – perhaps by Chopin – to the version compliant with A). In GE2, Chopin's intention contained in A was reproduced correctly.

Slur from semiquavers in FE (→EE) & GE3

Slur from quaver in GE1 (→GE2)

..

An earlier beginning of the slur in GE1 (→GE2) must be an inaccuracy of the engraver who could have misinterpreted the "encompassing" slur of FE. A slur compliant with both piano and musical logic was restored in GE3.
