b. 106-107

composition: Op. 64 No 1, Waltz in D♭ major

Two crotchets in As

Five crotchets in A (→FE→GE,EE)

In As in bars 33-35 an alternative version of the part of the L.H. is written, which, due to the whole-bar rest in bar 34, seems to announce the final version of the ending of the Waltz. Taking this into account, in our reconstruction of the notation of As, we suggest this variant of accompaniment precisely in bars 105-107 (the notation of As indicates that at the stage of sketching the Waltz, Chopin did not envision a repetition corresponding to bars 109-124 in the reprise). The provided variant includes two bars only, as the described version of As in bar 33 does not differ from the final version of bar 105.

b. 106

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

No markings in FE (→GE1op,GE1no2,EEC)

Pedalling in A, EEW1 (→EEW2), GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2no2
..

The lack of pedalling in FE (→GE1op,GE1no2,EEC) is certainly a mistake.

b. 106-107

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

..

In b. 106 and 107, some or all bottom voice rests were overlooked in various sources:

  • both rests in b. 106 in FE;
  • the crotchet rest in b. 107 in GE;
  • all four rests in EE.

They seem to be the engravers' oversights (in EE and GE, it is also revisions that are likely – cf. b. 115). GC is provided with a detailed two-part notation, which we give in the main text.

b. 106-107

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

c1 tied in A & FE (→EE)

c1 repeated in GE
..

The visible in A, characteristic Chopin tie of c1 was overlooked in GE – the engraver may have considered it an extension of the motivic slur. Chopin corrected the mistake when proofreading FE (→EE).
