b. 152-154

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Slur in bar 154 in A (→FE)

Slur in bars 152-154 in FC (→GE)

Double slur in bar 154 in EE
..

Just like in b. 20-22, in FC the slur was extended by Chopin. The doubled ties in EE are an arbitrary revision, quite frequently applied in that edition.

b. 152

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No mark in FE (→GE)

Short accent in EE

[] suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest a long accent after an analogous situation in b. 150. The mark was also added in EE; however, a short accent was used (like in the vast majority of cases).

b. 152

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In FE, there are no naturals before the bottom voice d1/2/3 notes. The last one is absolutely necessary; in spite of that, it was not added in any of the subsequent editions, in which the additions were limited to a  before d1 at the beginning of the bar. Moreover, FE (→GE) are lacking in the  before c3 in the 2nd figure; the accidental was added in EE. Significantly, the previous note, d3, is preceded with a , which was apparently understood as a cautionary accidental due to the d notes in the bottom voice and in the L.H.

b. 152

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

We add a cautionary  before f2 in the main text.

b. 153

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

 
 
..

In A at the beginning of b. 153 (and b. 161 marked as repeat) third c1-e1 is not dotted. Such notation seems more natural to accomodate the phrasing, so we retain it in the main text, even though in corresponding b. 149 (157) there are augmentation dots. Compare annotation in b. 4.
