b. 208

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

..

FE1 (→FE2→FE3) features an A1 as the bottom note on the 2nd crotchet in the bar. This patent inaccuracy was corrected only in FE4. The remaining sources include the correct F1.

b. 208-209

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

Slur up to bar 209 in GC & FE (→EE)

Slur in bars 205-208 in GE
..

The shorter slur of GE is, according to us, inaccurate, which can be partially attributed to the sweeping slur of GC.

b. 208

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

Grace note in A (→GE) & FED

Grace note after minim in FE

Crotchet in EE
..

The d2 appoggiatura, in FE placed erroneously on the right-hand side of the minim, was misinterpreted in EE as a crotchet in the reduction of the orchestra part, which is also a patent mistake. Chopin introduced the correct text in FED.

b. 208-209

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

No slur in sources

Slur suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we add the slur in the part of the L.H. Chopin probably considered the slur over the crotchets in the R.H. to be referring to the entire block of the harmonic filling.
