b. 197

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

..

In GC (→GE) and FE there is no  raising f to f. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in EE, which, in spite of the fact that the base text to EE was corrected by Chopin, could have been performed by the reviser.

b. 197

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

c & c1 in the sources

c & c1 suggested by the editors
..

The oversight of the sharps is supported by a close analogy of bars 193-200 to bars 65-72 and no resolution of possible c and c1 to B and b in bar 198. Generally, the recapitulation of the second theme (bars 169-208) reveals features proving its less careful notation by Chopin – see the note to bars 185-188.

b. 197

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

in A (→GE)

in FE (→EE)
..

Replacing  with  is almost certainly a result of Chopin's proofreading in FE (→EE), hence in the main text we give the latter.

b. 197

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

..

In A there is neither a  raising d2 to d2 in the marked place nor a  restoring d2 five semiquavers later. Corresponding signs are in the parts of oboes and clarinets in Morch, which confirms an imposing suspicion of Chopin's mistake. The signs were added already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2), in which one could see the composer's proofreading. In the main text we also add a cautionary  before b1; it is also in GE2.

Slur in A & GE2

Slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The slurs of GE1 (→FE→EE) are a characteristic example of a schematic approach to slurs – two whole-bar slurs were printed instead of the precisely written Chopin phrase mark.
