b. 163

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

 
 
..

The d1 in RH by mistake is a dotted crotchet in FC3 (→FE→IE) and EE. We present the A and GE versions that raise no doubts.

In RH we add cautionary  before d1. A similar addition was introduced in EE.

b. 163

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

 

No marking in FE (→GE1,EE)
 
..

The absence of  in FE (→GE1,EE) is an oversight of the engraver, revised in the subsequent GE.

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

e2 tied in A (→GE) & EE

e2 repeated in FE
..

The missing tie of e2 in FE is certainly a mistake, corrected in EE, most probably on the basis of comparison with analogous bars.

b. 163-164

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Slur up to bar 164 in FE (→GE) 

No slur in EE1

Slur only in bar 163 in EE3
..

Leading the L.H. slur until the beginning of bar 164 is much less justified than in the case of the R.H. slur due to the over two-octave f1-E leap. Therefore, it is quite likely that it is the slur added in EE3 that corresponds to Chopin's intention – the engraver of FE could have been under the influence of the R.H. slur while interpreting the slur of [A], perhaps written with a flourish.
