b. 142

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Accent in A (→GE)

No mark in FE (→EE)

..

The safest explanation for the absence of the accent in FE (→EE) would be it having been added to A after the basis for FE had been finished ([FC]). An oversight seems to be less likely if we take into account the absence of accents also in bar 144, 146, 148 and 150.

b. 142

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In A and FE1 there is no  to the bottommost note of the last R.H. chord. The patent oversight was corrected in GE and FE2 (→EE).

b. 142

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

No mark in A, EE & IE

Wedge in GE (→FE)

..

The wedge added by GE (→FE) was arbitrarily inserted by the engraver or the reviser, probably after comparing it with the following bars – in GE the discussed bar opens a page, while the bass octaves in the next three bars are provided with authentic wedges. The review of markings in all similar places – bars 123-130 and 139-146 – allows us to observe that Chopin provided with wedges some of the bass crotchets, but he never used a wedge to mark a quaver.

b. 142

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

Slur to 7th quaver in A

Slur to 8th quaver in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

The range of the slur is vague both in A and GE – in both cases one could consider these slurs to be a quaver shorter than the ones we adopted to our transcriptions. Our interpretation of GE is confirmed by the version of the remaining editions, none of which considered this slur to be reaching the 7th quaver.

b. 142-144

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

No rests in A

Rests in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

The version of the editions (with rests) can be considered an equal variant, since Chopin himself used this version in analogous bars 355-357. In the main text we keep the A notation, as, formally speaking, both versions are inaccurate, and the performance – synchronisation with the R.H. part – is determined by the way the notes are arranged. This is a record of "harmonic legato" – holding one's fingers on the keys in order to achieve actual chords within a linear sequence.
