b. 161

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

Long accent in A (→GE), possible interpretation

 hairpin in A, contextual interpretation

Short accent in FE, EE & IE

..

It is unclear whether the mark in A is a diminuendo or an accent (long). In GE it was reproduced as an accent, longer than the short ones in bar 153, yet shorter than the majority of typical long accents. In the main text we provide a  hairpin due to the  in analogous bar 157. Diminuendo is also present in bar 87 and is a natural choice in the endings of all the related four-bar sections whose melodic shape is of a clearly ascending and descending nature.

b. 162

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

2 slurs (up to bar 163) in A (→GCGE)

No slurs in FE1

2 slurs (up to bar 164) in EE

Continuous slur in FE2 (→FE3)

..

The continuousslur in FE2 (→FE3), reaching the minim in bar 164, results certainly from Chopin's correction, hence we give this version in the main text. However, it should be noted that Chopin did not changed the shorter slurs of A, and only differently supplemented the slurring overlooked in FE1. The version of A (→GCGE) may be considered an equivalent variant. The EE version may be regarded as an alternative reading of the slurs in A.

b. 162-165

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

Complete pedalling in GC (→GE)

Fragmentary pedalling in FE (→EE)

..

The pedalling of FE (→EE) is less accurate, while in bar 164 it is certainly erroneous (no  sign before ). In the main text we give the undoubtedly correct indications of GC (→GE).

b. 162-163

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

Slurs in GC (→GE)

No slurs in FE (→EE)

..

In the main text, we give the slurs of GC (→GE). Adopting the version with shorter slurs in bars 81-87, one has to adopt the variant without slurs here.
