b. 180-188

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

No L.H. slurs in AI & AF (→FE→EE)

L.H. slurs in GE
..

The L.H. slurs in b. 180-182 and 185-188 must be a Chopinesque improvement from [AG] (→GE). Cf. b. 173-176.

b. 180

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

GE3 (→GE4) added a digit 3 over the first quaver, as if it constituted a part of the triplet with the next one, as in all subsequent, similar motifs. However, a respective rest is missing; moreover, the notes were not moved with respect to the L.H. part, which points to an unfinished change (intended and arbitrary) or to a mistake of the reviser (which seems more likely).

Additional slur in A

No slur in FE (→GE,EE)

As in the preceding bar, in the main text we do not include the additional slur under the quaver triplet, entered into A and omitted by FE (→GE,EE). Cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 16.

No slur in A (→GE→FE,EE1→EE2)

Slur in EE3

Slur suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we propose adding a slur covering a pair of double stops at the transition of bars 180-181, b-a1 and e1-g1. The slur was also added in EE3.

According to the editors, the  sign in A (→GE1→GE2) is entered imprecisely because it includes a rest during which a crescendo cannot be started. In the main text, we give it a scope analogous to the next such sign. A similar interpretation is used in FE and EE, as well as in FESB, in which, however, the sign is reversed (diminuendo instead of crescendo). It's hard to say whether this was an intentional change or a mistake. On the contrary, in GE3 the sign was slightly extended, which was probably a revision.
