b. 178-180

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

from bar 178 in FC (→GE) & EE
..

An earlier start of the  hairpin is most probably an inaccuracy: of the copyist in FC (→GE) and – independently – of the engraver in EE. Cf. analogous b. 629-631.

b. 178

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

L.H. slurs in A, contextual interpretation

No slurs in FE (→GE,EE)
..

One can understand the engraver of FE (→GE,EE); he did not know how to reproduce the inaccurate slur of A in the 1st half of the bar, going over the R.H. part (in A, the 2nd half of the bar is marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of the first). According to us, although the slur, when interpreted literally, reaches the c1 crotchet in the R.H. part, according to Chopin, it was supposed to encompass the L.H. half-a-bar figure and to be repeated in the 2nd half of the bar.

b. 178

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

cresc. - - in A & GE2

No indication in FE (→EE) & GE1
..

As in bars 174-175, Chopin added the cresc. - - indication to A after the basis for FE had been finished, that is [FC]. In GE1 the marking was overlooked, which was corrected by GE2. See also bar 179.
