b. 161

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

..

We add cautionary  before f1 in RH. In EE and GE4 we see similar additions.

In IE, most probably as a result of a mistake, we find the F1-F octave on the first beat of the LH part. Similarly, in GE1 we find the Ces-ces octave in this place.

b. 161

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

 
 
 
 
..

In EE on the first and second beat of b. 160 and on the first beat of b. 161 there are  markings without accents. In all impressions of GE there is no third  marking on the first beat of b. 161. In FE (→IE) only an accent is missing on the third marking.

b. 161-164

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Slur from 2nd octave in A (→GC→GE)

No slur in FE1

Slur from 1st octave in FE2 (→FE3) & EE
..

FE1 overlooked L.H. slurs in this bar and the two following ones. Chopin supplemented slurring with one slur encompassing bars 161-164 while proofreading FE2 (→FE3). That slur runs from the beginning of bar 161, contrary to A and similar bars 157 and 159. Hence, the engraver might have misplaced the beginning of slur inscribed by Chopin. The later beginning of slur may be regarded as an equivalent variant. The EE version results most likely from an inaccurate reading of A, despite its conformity to FE2.

b. 161

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

in GC (→GE) & EE2

No marking in FE (→EE1)
..

In the main text we include  written in GC (→GE) and then repeated in EE2. No sign in FE (→EE1) is probably an accident, as it seems to be highly unlikely that Chopin wanted to leave the idea of emphasising with a dynamic sign a place in which the melodic climax combines with a harmonic breakthrough (reaching the dominant in the general key). Cf. notes on  signs in bars 153-156 and 158-160.
