b. 232-234

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

..

Before the top note of the last octave in bar 232 and the 2nd one in bar 234, there are no accidentals in GC and the earlier FE. The necessary signs –  of f and  of b – were added in EE, GE and FE4.

b. 232

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

..

In GC and FE1 (→FE2→FE3) there is no  before the top most note of the 3rd crotchet in the R.H. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE, EE and FE4. In all sources a  was unnecessarily repeated before g1 in the chord in the L.H.

b. 232

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

a1 in chord in FE (→EE)

g1 in GE
..

The version of GE must be erroneous – cf. analogous bar 120. The mistake was probably also in FE, where, however, it was corrected – perhaps by Chopin – in the last phase of proofreading.

b. 232

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

..

In all sources, there is a repeated  (cautionary?) next to the f1 note on the second beat. In the main text we omit this superfluous accidental.

b. 232

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

No slur in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur in GE3
..

In the main text, we suggest adding a slur on the basis of a comparison with the recapitulation (bar 583). The slur was added already in GE3.
