In accordance with the explanation in the note to b. 127, in the main text we follow FE and suggest adding slurs (in square brackets). We also add staccato dots (see the adjacent note). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

In accordance with the explanation in the note to b. 127, in the main text we suggest adding articulation markings (in square brackets) after b. 127-130 and 147-148. We also add slurs (see the adjacent note). category imprint: Editorial revisions |

In A, the slur that began in the previous bar (at the end of a line) was not continued here. This inaccuracy, so frequent in Chopin's works, was repeated by FE (→GE). We reproduce this incomplete, clearly erroneous version only in the graphic transcription, except for GE4, in which it was also the beginning of this slur in b. 205 that was removed. The ending of the slur was added only by EE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: EE revisions , Inaccurate slurs in A , Uncertain slur continuation , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE |

We consider the missing staccato dot in b. 206 to be Chopin's inadvertence – there is no reason for the articulation of the crotchets in this bar to differ from the one indicated in A in b. 207. The absence of a dot in FE (→GE,EE) also in b. 207 must be an oversight by the engraver. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in FE |

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

In A, there are 2 slurs over the L.H. part – one encompassing almost an entire bar and the other starting clearly on the 2nd crotchet (d-b) and ending after the 3rd crotchet, under the first, longer slur and over an extensive deletion and the final version of the 4th crotchet, written below. FE (→GE,EE) included only the top, long slur, interpreting it as a whole-bar slur. According to us, such an interpretation, although graphically correct, is, however, erroneous, since the top slur encompasses the removed initial version of the five-crotchet sequence of fifths and sixths, the beginning of which was written right after the D1-D octave due to corrections. Therefore, if we are to consider the undeleted notes, the beginning of the slur does fall over the octave; however, to avoid misunderstandings, another slur was added, indicating the intended beginning of the slur with respect to the final version of the sequence of dyads. Consequently, in the main text we give a slur encompassing 5 crotchets, which was Chopin's intention both in the initial and the final version of the sequence of dyads. It is also compliant with the slur over a similar figure in the next bar, which is already less problematic. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A , Embracing slurs |
