b. 110

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

..

GC does not have a quaver flag here, which is most probably an error of the copyist.

b. 110

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

..

GC and FE1 (→FE2→FE3) do not have the naturals raising G1-G to G1-G. The patent mistake was corrected in EE, GE and FE4.

b. 110-114

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

..

In GC and FE1 (→FE2→EE1), there are no accidentals before the 3rd crotchet in bars 110 and 114. It is certainly an oversight of Chopin in [A], corrected in FE3 (→FE4). The naturals were added also in GE (in GE1 only in the top voice) and EE2.

b. 110-111

composition: Op. 64 No 3, Waltz in A♭ major

 in A, literal reading

 up to f2 in FE

 1 bar in GE1op, GE1Ab (→GE2Ab) & EE

No sign in GE2op (→GE3op)
..

According to us, the notation of A clearly suggests a continuation of the  hairpin in bar 111, which was not written out, in accordance with a sign corresponding it in bar 3. In the editions, however, it was only the sign in bar 110 that was more or less accurately reproduced.

b. 110-111

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

f repeated in A (→GE)

f tied in FE (→EE)
..

The missing tie of f is probably an oversight of Chopin in A (→GE). It is indicated by the tie of this note in an analogous situation in the previous bar and it is confirmed by the Chopin proofreading of FE (→EE). After all, who knows whether the slur led under notes, combining the last chord in bar 110 with the first one in 111, is not an echo of the Chopin proofreading too: Chopin, as was his custom, could have written a short tie next to the target note, whereas the engraver of GE1 interpreted it as a motivic slur (see the note in bars 109-110).
