composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

We add cautionary  before g1 in RH. Similar addition was made in  GE4.

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

In FE0 (→FE,FEG→GE1) the change of the clef was overlooked. It is possible that the engraver wrote here a quaver rest by mistake instead of the required bass clef, as in FE the 3rd chord in the L.H. is a crotchet (see: the previous note). The clef was introduced already in GE2 (→GE3), EE also has the correct notation.

No marking in FE0 (→GE)
..

It is not clear what Chopin wanted to underline with the  mark: a sudden change of the chord at the beginning of the bar or the signal chord motif after the rest. The first possibility is suggested by the composer's entry in FEG (which was, after all, not included in GE) and the notation of EE, while the second one – by the notation of FE. It must be emphasised that even the fact of writing this mark under the rests, as it is in FE, does not exclude its validity from the beginning of the bar (possible examples of using such a manner – the Etude in C major, Op. 10 No. 1, bar 45 or in G, Op. 10 No. 5, bars 34-35).

b. 237-239

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

Slur in FE & EE
 
..

The slur over the R.H. was most probably added by Chopin in the base texts to FE and EE.

Semiquaver in FE & GE

Quaver in EE
..

The version of EE was most probably introduced by Chopin in the base text to this edition. However, an error of the engraver or a revision of the reviser cannot be entirely excluded. Due to this fact, in the main text we give the version of FE0 (→FE,GE), drawn certainly from [A].
