b. 142

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

10-semiquaver slur in A (→FE,EE) & GE

6-semiquaver slur in GC
..

In A (→GC) bar 142 was divided into two lines. It is probably due to this issue that the copyist forgot to continue the slur in the L.H. in the 2nd half of the bar. In GE the slur was extended to the last semiquaver.

b. 142

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

A (→GC,FE1→FE2) has no  raising c1 to c1 in the L.H. The patent Chopin's oversight was corrected in EE, FE3 and GE.
In A (→GC,FE), in the 2nd half of the bar there is an unnecessarily repeated  before c2. The accidental was necessary in the manuscripts because the line ends in the middle of the bar. It was omitted in EE and GE.

b. 142

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

Seventh b−a1 in A (→FE→EE)

Octave a-a1 in GE
..

As in bar 38, the octave in GE is probably an arbitrary revision of the editor.

b. 142

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

..

The cautionary flat before c1 was added in FE3 (→FE4), GE and EE2.

b. 142

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

..

As in bar 38, in A there are no accidentals before the 1st quaver on the 3rd beat of the bar. However, this time FE (→GE1,EE1) repeated the erroneous version without any changes. The necessary naturals were added in GE2 (→GE3→GE4) and EE2, yet only in GE the unnecessary in this situation  before the top note (c) of the last semiquaver in the L.H. was removed.
