b. 21

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

The middle component of the last chord in the R.H. was certainly corrected in GC from f1 to g1. It is hard to state clearly whether it is Gutmann's own correction or whether it was Chopin that noticed and corrected the wrong pitch while reviewing GC. Cf. the annotation in bar 13.

b. 34

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

..

As the top most note of the 1st chord, FE1 includes an erroneous a instead of b, which was corrected already in FE2. The mistake must have been in [A], as in GC an identical correction is to be seen.

b. 39

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

..

The bottom note of the 2nd quaver in FE1 is an erroneous e1, which was corrected already in FE2. The mistake, and in any case the inaccurately written note, must have been in [A], as in GC one can see an identical correction.

Single A1 in FE
..

The lowest component of the 2nd chord in the R.H. was certainly corrected in GC from b to a; in the topmost component of the first octave in the L.H. there are also clear traces of correction, probably from F to A. It is hard to state clearly whether they are Gutman's own corrections or whether it was Chopin that noticed and corrected the wrong pitch while reviewing GC. The second possibility seems to be less plausible, as in FE this note was totally overlooked, which remained unnoticed by Chopin who was correcting this edition. Cf. the annotation in bar 13.

b. 73

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

The last semiquaver in the L.H. was certainly corrected in GC from e to f. It is hard to state clearly whether it is Gutmann's own correction or whether it was Chopin that noticed and corrected the wrong pitch while reviewing GC. Cf. the note in bar 13.
