b. 136

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

There is no  lowering e3 to e3 in the first R.H. chord in A (→FE1,GC→GE). The error was corrected in FE2 (→FE3) and EE.

b. 136-137

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

..

In the main text we add cautionary flats before e2 and e1 in bar 136 and B1-B in bar 137. The signs were added already in GE and EE2. GE also added a cautionary  before b2 in bar 137.

b. 136-152

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

..

A cautionary  before d in bars 136 and 152 is absent in A – the signs were added, perhaps at Chopin's request, in the proofreading of FE (→GE,EE).

b. 136-137

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

Two slurs in A & GE2op (→GE3op)

Slur in FE (→EE)

No slurs in GE1op & GE1no2

Two-bar slur in GE2no2
..

In the main text, we give the most certain slurs of A, as far as the sources are concerned. Omission of both slurs in GE1op and GE1no2 may mean that they were originally absent also in FE (cf. bars 138-139), in which, however, a slur in bar 137 was added in the last proofreading. The addition – perhaps coming from Chopin – certainly does not mean that bar 136 is to be devoid of a slur, in turn, it confirms the use of a new slur for bar 137 (cf. bars 8-9). The slurs added in later GE – different for each of two versions of this edition – are certainly revisions of the editors, modelled on analogous bars 8-9 (GE2op) or 152-153 (GE2no2).

b. 136

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

..

We add a cautionary  before c in the L.H. On the other hand, EE added a poorly justified cautionary  before f2 in the last R.H. octave.
