b. 108

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

e2 in AsI, A (→GE→FE,FESB) & EE2 (→EE3)

e2 in EE1 (→EE2)
..

Contrary to the situation in b. 103, in A (→GE→FESB) there is no cautionary  to e2. A flat was added in FE, perhaps at Chopin's request, whereas in EE1 a  was inserted here, raising e2 to e2. This version, possible in itself, must be erroneous, which is proven by – aside from the compliant version of the remaining sources – the comparison with analogous b. 104, 120 and 124. This erroneous revision (or maybe simply a mistake) was corrected only just in EE3, where the  was changed to a .

Tied (?) b2 quaver in EE2

The absence of the tie to b2 in FE (→EE1) is probably an oversight by the copyist or by the engraver of FE1, as is the absence of the additional crotchet stem extending this note in EE (this change could also be a revision). In EE2 only a tie was added (the stem is still missing), hence the result of this correction is unclear.

b. 108

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In the main text we omit the poorly justified cautionary  to d1 in the chord on the 2nd crotchet in the bar. A respective accidental was already put to d3 in the R.H.

b in A (→GE→FE,IE)

c1 in EE, contextual interpretation
..

When interpreted literally, in EE the semibreve at the beginning of the bar is a c1. It is a mistake by the engraver, who wrote a ledger line across a note put at the right pitch. In the content transcription we consider this note to be a c1, as it seems that due to the c1 crotchet, which directly precedes it, this is how this notation was most probably interpreted. In the main text we provide the unquestionable version of the remaining sources, which is b.
