b. 177

b. 177

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

Staccato dot in A, possible reading

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)
..

On the available photograph of A, it is difficult to evaluate whether the dot visible over the 1st quaver is a staccato mark, an insignificant fleck of ink or the upper end of this note's stem. Therefore, in the main text we confide in the engraver of FE, who did not include this possible mark in the text. In similar contexts, Chopin would use both a version with a dot and a version without it, cf., e.g. b. 68 and 191 of the Ballade.

b. 177-178

Long accents in A

Short accents in FE (→GE,EE)

Although in A both accents in these bars are clearly long, FE (→GE,EE) reproduced them as short.

b. 178

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

 
 
 
..

The chord on the first beat of LH in A, FC3 (→FE→IE) is notated as a crotchet without an augmentation dot and hence we present it this way in in the main text. In GE there are dotted crotchets in this place, however, a quaver rest was not deleted. In all the above sources there is no  before g. 

In EE d1 was arbitrarily changed to b, which must have been an error.
