b. 175

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Chords in AsI

Chords in A (→GE→EE,FESB)

Chord & octave in FE

Our alternative suggestion
..

The version of AsI fairly corresponds to the orchestral version, in which the 2nd and 3rd quavers are almost (in AsI) or completely (in the printed voices) identical, as far as the pitch is concerned. It was also in A (→GE→EE,FESB) that Chopin only complemented the R.H. chords. The proofreading of FE – undoubtedly Chopinesque – brought about a major change, and this is the version (the latest one) we give in the main text. An alternative proposal, analogous to the endings of Variation I and Variation III, takes into account a possible misunderstanding in implementing the proofreading corrections.

b. 175-180

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

As was the case with the previous variations, In AsI variation III is practically devoid of performance markings – the only indication is the metronome tempo, compliant with the later sources.

In A and FC3 (→FE→IE) the upper note of the chord on the second beat of LH is a1. It must have been Chopin's error as proven by  on this note in A, which has no justification before a1 and it was omitted in FC3 (→FE→IE). The correct text (with f1) in EE must resulted from the editor's revision. However, it seems little probable in incorrect GE1 -    f1 may have been found already in [KF1]. Cf. next annotation.

A certainly long accent in A was copied wrongly - as a short one - in FC3 (→FE→IE) and EE but omitted in GE. Cf. bars 164-178 .

b. 176

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

..

In A the accent on the second beat of the bar is clearly long, while all the other sources have a short accent (except  GE, wher the mark was omitted). Cf.  bars 164-178.
