b. 133

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

A long accent in A

A short accent in GE (→FE→EE)
..

issues: Inaccuracies in GE

b. 133-135

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Tie in EE

No ties in GC (→GE)

2 ties in FE
..

The tie sustaining f sharp1 in bars 133-134 is missing from EE.  #KG (→GE) has neither that tie nor the next one (in bars 134-135). These are definitely errors, as we can see from the presence of relevant ties in analogous bars 141-142 and 149-151.

b. 133

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Octave in A (→FE1,EE,GC→GE)

Three-note chord in FE2 (→FE3)
..

A (→FE1,EE,GC→GE) has only the g1-g2 octave as a semiquaver. Chopin completed it with the c2 note in a proofreading of FE2.

issues: Authentic corrections of FE

b. 133

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

Chopin did not write a  restoring g1 in the penultimate chord. This was noticed only in GE2 (→GE3) which also added a  before g2. We include these additions in the main text (cf. the authentic naturals added next to both notes of an octave in bar 135).
