In analogous bar 10 Chopin changed the B-d-g chords for e-g thirds. He introduced this correction in all three base texts: in FEG (→GE), as well as in the base texts to FE and EE. Lack of respective changes in bar 182 is most probably a result of an oversight – Chopin was known to leave out a correction in one of a few similar places – therefore, also in this bar we give the corrected version with thirds, resulting in a lighter sound. The revisers of GE2 (→GE3) introduced the same change.

b. 182

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

..

In GC and FE (→EE1) the  before the top most note is already before the 1st chord. It is hard to say how the mistake, which had to be already in [A], occurred (corrections?). In addition, in the proofreading of FE4, this obviously erroneous version was confirmed, by adding in this chord a  before c1. It is either a mistake of the engraver or a missed revision. In GE the  was moved before the second chord, in accordance with the musical sense and the version of analogous bar 142; similarly in EE2, in which, however, flats before the extreme notes of the 1st chord were added.

b. 182-183

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

Separate slurs in A (→FE→EE,GE1no2,GE1op→GE2op→GE3op)

One slur in GE2no2
..

Same as in bars 54-55, combining the slurs in GE2no2 is a revision contrary to the Chopin notation.
