b. 189-191

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

New slur in GC & GE2

Slur continued in FE (→EE) & GE1

..

Adding the beginning here phrase to the previous bar is, according to us, a result of an erroneous interpretation of [A], perhaps written inaccurately or containing corrections impeding the interpretation.

Pedalling in GC & GE2

No markings in FE (→EE1)

Pedalling in GE1

Pedalling in EE2

Our alternative suggestion

..

In the main text we give the pedalling added by Chopin in GC and repeated more or less accurately in GE and EE2. As the added pedalling differs from the indications in the analogous fragment of the exposition (bars 61-64), which may have resulted from haste at the time of writing it, we suggest a pedalling based on the indications of the exposition as an alternative.

b. 189-192

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

No marks in GC (→GE)

Two staccato dots in FE (→EE)

Four dots suggested by the editors

..

The staccato dots, present only in the 2nd and 4th bars of this four-bar section, is probably a result of an inaccuracy of Chopin or of the engraver. In the analogous phrase of the exposition (bars 61-64), the articulation is marked much more accurately, so it seems that Chopin wanted to mark all bass notes in the same manner. According to us, the presence of dots in FE (→EE) in bars 190 and 192 indicate that Chopin imagined all bass notes in the recapitulation to be performed staccato too.

b. 189-193

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

..

In GC the majority of the recapitulation (bars 190-257) is written in an abbreviated manner as empty, numerated bars (the numbers correspond with the numbers of bars 2-69 of the first section of Scherzo). In bar 189 the notes are written, yet without any performance indications (except for tempo primo), which was probably supposed to be only an additional indication, from which bar one is to begin repeating the full notation. In spite of this, GE printed in this bar only this version, devoid of articulation signs (cf. the note on them).

b. 189

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

Dots, accent &  in GC (contextual interpretation) & FE (→EE)

No marks in GC (literal reading→GE)

..

The absence of articulation and dynamic indications in GE is a result of misunderstanding of the abbreviated notation of GC.
