b. 179-180

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Slurs in A, contextual interpretation

Slurs in GC (literal reading)

Slurs in A (literal reading→FE,contextual interpretation of GC)

Slurs in GE

No slurs in EE

..

The first slur in the L.H. is written "with panache," as a result of which it was misinterpreted both in GC and in FE. The slurs of GE are even more misleading, so that in GE the beginnings of both slurs were moved to the 1st quaver of each beat in bar 179. In the main text we give the obvious in this context interpretation of slurs of A. The lack of slurs in EE results from an oversight by the engraver (as in the previous bar).

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

d-f1 in A (→FE,GCGE)

d-f-f1 in EE

..

The EE version results presumably from an incomplete correction – the engraver tried to change the mistakenly printed lower note of the octave f-f1 for a d, but failed to remove the erroneous f.

b. 179

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

The bottom note of the third semiquaver in the R.H. was corrected in GC from f2 to e2. It is hard to state clearly whether it is Gutmann's own correction or whether it was Chopin that noticed and corrected the wrong pitch while reviewing GC. Cf. analogous bar 183.

Pedalling in GC

No pedalling in FE (→EE1)

Pedalling in GE

Pedalling in EE2

..

Same as in bars 169-172, Chopin added the pedalling in GC. In GE it was reproduced inaccurately, which was repeated – increasing the inaccuracies – in EE2.
