b. 193-194

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Four-quaver slurs in A (→FE)

Three-quaver slurs in GC (→GE) & EE
..

In A, the first slur in each bar clearly reaches the 4th quaver, but only FE reproduced it that way. Both the copyist and the engraver in EE found the notation of A inaccurate, and lead the slurs only to the 3rd quaver.

b. 193-197

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

Pedalling in GC (→GE) & EE2

No markings in FE (→EE1)
..

The pedalling of this fragment was added by Chopin in GC (→GE). It was also repeated in EE2, almost certainly after GE1. See also bars 198-204.

b. 193-200

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

cresc. - - - in GC & GE2

cresc. without dashes in FE (→EE) & GE1
..

The dashes marking the range of crescendo were overlooked in GE1, yet added in GE2. In FE (→EE) the signs were probably also overlooked.

b. 193

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

One-bar  in GC (→GE)

Sign reaching bar 194 in FE (→EE)
..

One longer  sign in FE (→EE), including also bar 194, is most probably an arbitrary decision of the engraver of FE.

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

..
