b. 140

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

 in FE (→GE,EE)

[] , our variant suggestion
..

On contemporary pianos an earlier pedal release, supported by harmonic legato, indicated by Chopin (holding g), could sound better than the original pedalling. Therefore, in the main text we suggest this possibility.

b. 141-142

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

a in FE, EE & GE2 (→GE3)

 repeated in GE1
..

The version of GE1, which does not sustain a, is attractive from the musical point of view, as repetition of this note underlines the distinctiveness of the melodically active middle voice. However, it is most likely that the missing tie is most probably the engraver's oversight, corrected in GE2 (→GE3). Cf. the adjacent note.
