b. 104-105

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

Double bar-line in GC

Single bar-line in FE (→EE) & GE
..

The double bar line is most probably a routine addition of the copyist. Its absence in GE is most probably a mistake.

b. 104-108

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

Slur from 2nd beat in GC (→GE) & EE

No slur in FE

Slur from 1st beat suggested by the editors
..

In this phrase, the slur in GC (→GE) begins on the 2nd beat of bar 104, which, in spite of concordance with EE, we consider to be an inaccuracy, as in other similar situations, the slurs in GC generally start from the beginning of the bar.

b. 104

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

No accidental in As & A (→FE→EEC) – f2

 in AI – f2

 in GE & EEW1 (→EEW2) – f2
..

Same as in bars 40 and 56, Chopin hesitated whether the last quaver in bars 104 and 120 is to be a f2 or f2 and the final decision is not unambiguous. In the main text, we give the version with f2, written in A (→FE) and made more precise by the way we adopted in our system with a cautionary . The version with f2, as well as the notation without an accidental, leaving a minor margin of uncertainty, can be considered to be equal variants.

b. 104

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

No lower pause in A

Two pauses in FE (→GE,EE)

The fermata under the part of the L.H. could have been added in the proofreading of FE1 by Chopin.
