b. 159

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

As a result of an oversight, the E1-E octave in the L.H. in GC is a crotchet. The extending dots were added in GE.

It is not certain which pedalling is compatible with Chopin's intention. From the practical point of view, both are possible.

b. 159-160

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

No g1 in A & GE

g1 in FE (→EE)
..

The g1 crotchet, struck in bar 159 and sustained as a minim in bar 160, was added by Chopin in the last proofreading of FE (→EE). This kind of diversification of subsequent appearances of repeating musical ideas belonged to Chopin's favourite composer tricks.
The proofreading also embraced a change of the graphic layout of the text – the 3rd quaver in the R.H. was moved to the upper stave.

b. 159

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

..

In GC and FE (→EE1) there is no flat lowering c2 to c2 in the L.H. The obvious inaccuracy was corrected in GE & EE2.
