b. 140-141

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Slur to end of bar 140 in GE

Slur to bar 141 in FE (→EE)

..

The ending of the slur of GE1 in b. 140 (at the end of the line) suggests that it should be continued, although the last part of the slur is poorly visible. However, there is no ending of the slur in b. 141, and in GE2 the slur clearly ends on f in b. 140. In the main text we reproduce the notation of FE (→EE), confirmed by the slurs in analogous places – in b. 160-161 in GE and 199-200 in FE.

b. 140

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

In A (→FEGE), there is no accidental to the 4th L.H. crotchet. Chopin's patent, as it seems, oversight went unnoticed by FE and the majority of GE; it was corrected only by EE and GE1a.

In A, the L.H. part was being corrected in this bar; consequently, due to deletions, Chopin was forced to write the final version on an adjacent stave. However, the flat was not overlooked due to the corrections, since it was also absent in the initial version of notation. The change concerned mainly rhythm, i.e. there were rests instead of the 3rd and 6th crotchets: . Before deleting the entire bar, Chopin probably changed the last chord too:  (both examples are to be interpreted in the key of E major, featuring A and a notes).

AsI does not contain any performance markings, on which we do not comment further on.

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

In AsI the L.H. part is marked in an abridged manner with the word unisono, written in every bar. The alternative L.H. part is written on the same stave, which we change for better legibility of the transcription: we separate the parts by placing the alternative one on an additional stave, as was performed by the other sources.
