b. 110

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

End of the slur in A (→GE) and EE

End of the slur in FE
..

In FE, the slur ends - unlike in all the other sources - on the semiquaver, which is an evident mistake.

Possibly a short accent in A (→GE2→GE3)

b. 110

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

No accent mark in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

A short accent in GE2 (→GE3)

Our proposition
..

In A (→GE1→FE→EE) there is no accent on the 3rd beat of the bar, which seems to be a mistake in notation since there are accents in all the analogous bars. Therefore we suggest adding a long accent in that place. A similar thing was done in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 110

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Octaves in A (→FE1,EE)

Chords with e3 in GC & FE2 (→FE3)

Chords with f3 in GE
..

The octaves in A (→FE1,EE) are the original version – Chopin completed it by adding the e3 notes both in GC and in a proofreading of FE2 (→FE3). We give this version, corrected twice in a different period of time, in which the transition from the four-bar chord in the middle of the bar to the octave in bar 11 is smoother, thanks to the triads, as the main one. The f3 note on the last quaver in GE is most probably a result of a misinterpretation of the note in GC, which was written slightly too high.

b. 110

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

FE1 overlooked the  raising c3 to c3 in the first R.H. chord. The accidental was added in FE2 (→FE3).
