b. 164

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

Staccato dot suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we add a staccato dot over the 1st quaver in the R.H. after analogous bar 156.

b. 164

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

f tied in FE (→GE)

f repeated in EE
..

The absence of the tie of f in EE must be a mistake, perhaps repeated after a proof copy of FE not including the last corrections.

b. 164

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

a in chord in FE (→GE)

No a in EE
..

The absence of a in EE must be a mistake. However, it is uncertain whether it was committed in EE – there is some evidence that this version was initially also in FE, in which, however, Chopin corrected it in the last stage of proofreading. See the previous note.

b. 164

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

..

The majority of the sources are lacking in cautionary accidentals in this bar. The only exception is EE, in which naturals were added before b and a. We include the former in the main text.

b. 164-165

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

In these bars, there are no flats to a1 and A in A (→FE) (the accidental to a at the end of b. 164 is not necessary due to a respective  to the L.H. chord). What is more, the remaining necessary flats were inserted only in the first half of each of these bars. Moreover, in A Chopin even deleted the  that was initially put to G in b. 165 (cf. the description of A in some Preludes, Op. 28, e.g. in F minor, No. 8). GE and EE include the version adopted by us.
