b. 259

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

Broken octaves in A

Regular octaves in FE (→GE,EE)

..

In the main text we reproduce the notation of A, in which a diagonally crossed octave means a very fast arpeggio (faster than the one written down with the use of a grace note). The direction in which an octave should be broken results from the notation of the preceding octaves; moreover, it is indicated by the direction of the diagonal line crossing the stem of an octave. The absence of respective lines in the editions probably resulted from the engraver of FE not having understood this notation.

b. 259-261

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

In the case of five L.H. octaves, Chopin put an accidental only to one of the notes in A. The following accidentals are missing:  (E) and  (f) in b. 259;  (F) in b. 260;  (C) and  (B1) in b. 261. All the missing accidentals were added by FE (→GE,EE); nevertheless, GE1a once again overlooked the  (E) in b. 259.

e2 together with f1 in AsIAf & A (→GEFESB)

e2 after f1 in FE & EE

The version of notation of FE and EE, in which the semiquaver of the top voice was placed after the 3rd quaver of the triplet in the remaining voices, is contrary to the Chopinesque understanding of this combination of rhythms – see bars 45-46. Interestingly, the engraver of FE consistently forced his version of notation (contrary to the basis), whereas the engraver of EE decided to depart from the basis only here.
