b. 172-174

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No sign in EE and FE

 in GC (→GE)
..

The hairpin   is only present in GC (→GE). Its lack in EE and FE probably results from inaccurate notation (in EE it may simply be an oversight – cf. other probable errors in this fragment). Analogous bars 216-218 have hairpins in all the sources.

b. 172-175

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Slur in EE, FE & GE

Slur in GC
..

The slur in GC – as is the case in bars 166 and 182 – does not go beyond the bar line. However, the end of the slur here is clearly closer to the chord in bar 175 than that in bar 174, which was the reason why in GE it was interpreted as reaching the 1st beat of bar 175, in line with the remaining sources.

b. 172

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

e1 in FE

Third in GE & EE
..

On the 2nd crotchet in FE0 (→FE) there is no c1, probably as a result of a misinterpretation of the autograph. Chopin added this note in FEG (→GE) and in the base text to EE.

b. 172

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

No slur in A (→FE,EE)

Slur in GC (literal reading→GE)

Slur in GC (contextual interpretation)
..

In the main text we give the ending of slur from the previous bar, resulting from the notation of GC and FE2 (→FE3), corrected by Chopin.

b. 172

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

In the main text we add  restoring b1 in the 2nd half of bar. Chopin's patent error was only rectified in GE. See also bar 176.
