b. 117-118

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

A probable reading of the slur of A

A possible interpretation of the slur of A

The slur in GE (→FE→EE)
..

In the main text we give the most probable reading of the slur in A. In GE (→FE→EE) the slur was stretched to embrace full beats.

issues: Inaccuracies in GE

b. 117-118

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No tie in EE & FE

Tied G in GC (→GE)
..

A missing tie sustaining G sharp in EE and FE is probably an oversight - cf. analogous bars 35-36 and 377-378.

issues: Errors in FE , Errors in EE

b. 117

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No mark in EE and FE

Possible reading of the accent in GC

Probably long accent in GC (→GE)
..

Only GC (→GE) has the accent mark, which makes it even more difficult to determine the type of accent intended by Chopin. We assume that a long accent was meant here, as was used in analogous bar 35.

b. 117

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

 
 
..

The f2 note on the 4th quaver in FE0 (→FE,GE) must be considered as the engraver's error (overlooked by Chopin): all analogous places have g2. EE has the correct version with g2.

issues: Errors in FE , Errors in GE

b. 117

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

b1 tied in A (→FE,GC→GE)

b1 repeated in EE
..

EE overlooks the tie sustaining b in the R.H.
