b. 131

b. 131

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

Minim & semibreve in GC (→GE)

No inner notes in FE1

Minims in FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4)
..

In the main text we give the undoubtedly correct rhythmic notation of the middle notes of the chord, transmitted by GC (→GE). Among the remaining versions, the first is erroneous, whereas the second – inaccurate (probably due to a misunderstanding of the notation of [A]).

b. 131

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

..

There is no  before the top note of the last octave in the L.H. – undoubtedly a g – in GC and FE (→EE1). This patent inaccuracy was revised in GE and EE2, however, in GE the  was misplaced in front of f in the R.H. (in the sources the bottom notes of the last two octaves in the R.H. are written on the bottom stave).

b. 131

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

f in GE, possible interpretation of GC & FE1 (→FE2→FE3,EE1)

e in FE4 & EE2
..

GC and the previous impressions of FE (→EE) include the erroneous f as the top bottom note in the chord on the 2nd crotchet. The mistake was revised in GE, adding a  before this note, which has to be considered to be justified. However, the comparison with analogous bar 171, and, above all, the change introduced – probably by Chopin – in FE4 convinces that the mistake concerned the pitch and not the missing . The version with e was introduced also in EE2, most probably on the basis of FE4. According to us, both here and in the previous bar, we are dealing with Chopin's mistakes in [A].
