b. 127

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

Wedge suggested by the editors
..

Taking into account the similarities between bar 125 and 127, in the main text we indicate staccato articulation for the 1st quaver in the 2nd half of the bar, as the performance markings in these bars either overlap or complement each other.

b. 127

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

No pedalling in FE (→GE,EE)

[ ] suggested by the editors
..

On the basis of a comparison with bar 125, we suggest supplementing the pedalling in the main text.

b. 127-128

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

..

In the main text we add cautionary accidentals – a  to c2 at the beginning of bar 127 and a  to e3 at the beginning of bar 128. The former was also added by EE2.

b. 127-129

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

..

In A (→GE→EE1,IE) the naturals restoring g3 in bar 127 and 129 are missing. Both were added by FE and EE2.
In A (→GE→FE,EE) there is no  to f3 at the end of bar 127. It was added only by IE, since Chopin and the remaining publishers considered it superfluous due to the  to f2 at the beginning of the bar.

b. 127

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

in A

Longer  in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

In the main text we provide the  hairpin after A. However, it must be said that in this case the prolonged GE mark (→FE,EE,IE) does not differ that much from the A mark in terms of its meaning, while it is certainly compliant with the natural shape of the figuration. Bearing in mind that in the case of such elements as slurs, dynamic hairpins or long accents the A notation is often inaccurate, one can consider the version of the editions to be an acceptable variant.
