b. 146-148

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

3 wedges in A

2 dots in GE1 (→FE→EE)

4 dots in GE2

4 wedges suggested by the editors
..

The staccato signs at the beginning of bars 146 and 148 are written in A inconsistently – in bar 146 the sign is only in the R.H., whereas in bar 148 – in both. The kind of the employed sign in bar 146 can also raise doubts, yet clear wedges in bar 148 speak in favour of a wedge. We add a fourth wedge (bar 146, L.H.) in the main text, since Chopin wrote staccato signs in similar situations in bars 150, 154 and 156 in the parts of both hands. No signs in bar 146 is certainly a mistake of GE1 (→FE→EE), whereas the interpretation of all employed signs as dots must be an inaccuracy of the editions.

b. 146-148

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

Slur in bar 146 in A

Slur over triplet in bar 146 in GE1

No slur in FE

Slur in bars 146-147 in EE

Slurs in bars 146-148 in GE2
..

In the main text we include only the slur written by Chopin in A – see bars 145-160. The versions of GE1 and FE are most probably erroneous, whereas the ones of EE and GE2 – arbitrary.

b. 146-147

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

No markings in FE (→GE1→GE2)

 in bar 147 in EE1

2  markings in EE2 (→EE3) & GE3

2 [] suggested by the editors
..

The missing ​​​​​​​ marks are a patent inaccuracy, hence in the main text we suggest adding them after the two previous bars. The marks were added already in EE (in EE1 only in bar 147) and GE3.

b. 146-147

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

..

In the main text, we add cautionary naturals before e2 in bar 146 and a1 in bar 147. They were added in GE3.

b. 146-147

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Continuous slur in A (contextual interpretation→FE,GC→GE)

2 slurs in EE
..

The slur in A ends over the last semiquaver in bar 146, last in the line. However, slur in the new line (bar 147) begins far before the bar-line thus indicating a continuation. Comparison with three analogous passages shows clearly a continuous slur as corresponding to Chopin's intent. It was reproduced that way in FE and GC (→GE). Thus the divided slur in EE has to be seen as an inept interpretation.
