b. 132-133

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

Slur in bar 133 in GC (→GE)

Slur from bar 132 in FE (→EE)
..

Taking into account the slur – concordant in the sources – in an analogous situation in bars 124-125, we consider the shorter slur in GC (→GE) to be inaccurate.

b. 132

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

No sign in A (→GE→FE→EE)

Arpeggio sign written into FED

Our variant suggestion
..

Arpeggio before the chord with the grace note was added in FED by Chopin. Similarly in bar 280.

b. 132

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

Slur break after e1 in A & GE2

Slur break before e1 in GE1

Contiguous slurs in FE (→EE)
..

Even in such a seemingly obvious situation, the engraver of GE1 separated the slurs in the middle of the bar, contrary to A and the musical sense. The extension of the first slur in FE (→EE), although it returns the range of the slur written in A, is probably another inaccuracy.

b. 132

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Long accent in FE (→EE)

Short accent in GE
..

The accent, clearly long in FE, was shortened in GE to a typical, short mark. It is a typical inaccuracy, resulting from a routine approach to the issue of accents.

b. 132

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

 on 2nd quaver in FE (→EE)

 at beginning of bar in GE
..

A comparison with the dynamic markings in analogous bars 136 and 140 points to an inaccurate placement of the ​​​​​​​ mark in FE (→EE). In the main text, we take into account the shift of the mark adopted in GE.
