b. 157-160

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

Pedalling in GC (→GE), contextual interpretation

Pedalling in FE

Pedalling in EE

..

In both sources based on [A] – GC and FE – the pedalling is written certainly (GC) or probably (FE) inaccurately. What is more, in each of the sources the notation is different, which impedes finding out what Chopin's intention concerning this issue was (it is possible that the notation of [A] was inaccurate or unclear, e.g., as a result of corrections). In the main text we give the version of EE, which can be a result of the Chopinesque proofreading of the base text to this edition and which is analogous to the undoubtedly authentic pedalling of an identical phrase in bars 153-156.

b. 157-158

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

b1 repeated in As, AI & A (→FEGE,EE)

b1 tied in FED

..

The tie of b1, written in FED perhaps by Chopin, may be considered an authentic variant.

b. 157-158

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

No slur in A (→FEGE1op,GE1no2,EEC,EEW1)

Slur in GE2op (→GE3op), GE2no2 & EEW2

Our variant suggestion

..

While writing this place in A for the second time, Chopin overlooked the slur over the part of the L.H. (cf. bars 29-30). According to us, it can be considered an inaccuracy, hence in the main text we suggest to complete the slur. A similar addition was performed in later GE and EE.

b. 157

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

in FE (→GE,EE)

suggested by the editors

..

We place the semiquaver ending the bar over the last note of the triplet of the accompaniment, in accordance with the rule to which Chopin adhered his entire life. In FE (→GEEE), the semiquaver is placed after the 3rd note of the triplet, most probably due to the unfamiliarity with the Chopinesque habit – the Bolero is the first (and only) piece by Chopin issued by this French publisher. Similarly, in bar 163.

b. 157-158

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

Slur from bar 158 in GC (→GE1)

2 slurs in FE (→EE)

3 slurs in GE2

..

The missing slurs in GC (→GE1) must be an oversight – the copyist wrote only the part of the slur starting in b. 158, at the beginning of a new line, overlooking the slurring of b. 157. GE2 limited itself to adding slurs in b. 157 (most probably by analogy with b. 153) – the already printed slur in b. 158 was left unchanged.
