b. 183-184

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

..

We add a cautionary  before b1 in bar 183 and a  before f1 in bar 184. The first one was added already in GE2.

b. 183

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

g1 in chord in GC (→GE) & FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4)

Chord without g1 in FE1
..

No g1 in the chord is most probably a result of an oversight of the note by the engraver of FE1. The mistake was corrected already in FE2.

b. 183

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

d1 in GC (→GE) & FE

d1 in EE
..

The version with d1 (=e1) is probably erroneous – situations in which there is no sign, cancelling the previous alteration, belong to the most frequently encountered inaccuracies of Chopin's notation. Moreover, it is likely that the composer rectified his mistake, while correcting the base text to EE. Adding a cautionary  before c1 is a poorly justified revision of GE2.

b. 183

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

Slurs from f2(1) in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slurs from b2(1) in GE3
..

An earlier beginning of the last slur in this bar, causing the slurs to overlap, seems to be an inaccuracy of notation, since such slurs do not appear in similar places at all. However, this version, potentially authentic, may be considered an acceptable variant. The slur was deemed inaccurate already in GE3.
