composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete
..
As in bars 176 and 180, GE (→FE,EE) extended the slur only to the end of the bar, probably in the belief that the notation A was inaccurate. It is difficult to say what caused the subsequent extension of the slur in FESB – inaccuracy or perhaps an analogy with bars 196-197, in which the slur has the correct range in all editions, consistent with A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Revisions in FESB |

The version of EE, FESB and GE3 is most probably an arbitrary change performed by the revisers (engravers?), certain that the basis (in this case either GE1 or GE2) contained a mistake. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Revisions in FESB |

The second note in the L.H. part in AsI, A (→GE→FE) and EE3 is a dotted quaver, as a result of which the bar is a semiquaver too short. In the full, orchestral version of this tutti, the cello (and bassoon) phrase starts from the beginning of the bar with a dotted crotchet, which could have suggested to Chopin that it was also in the version for one piano, after shifting the beginning to the 2nd quaver, that the new value should be dotted. The mistake, easy to detect, was noticed and corrected only by FESB. By contrast, in EE1 (→EE2) the dot prolonging this note was left out – it could have been a failed attempt at correcting this mistake. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in EE , Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Revisions in FESB |

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete
..
A version of FE in which R.H. quavers on the 2nd beat do not include the f notes is most likely the result of Chopin's correction of its Stichvorlage, i.e. a copy of GE1. This version, which does not suggest striking these notes with both hands simultaneously, is given in the main text. A similar adjustment was made in EE, but there is no suggestion that Chopin had any influence on the text of this edition. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: EE revisions , Accompaniment changes , Authentic corrections of FE , Revisions in FESB |

b. 334-335
|
composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete
..
In GE, FESB and EE bar 335 opens a new line, which caused the distortion of the slurs ending on the 1st quaver in this bar. In the graphic transcription we reproduce the versions of these editions without changes, whereas in the content transcription (version 'edited text') we give their most likely (according to us) interpretation. In the main text we reproduce the unequivocal notation of A and FE (the notation of FE could have resulted from Chopin's intervention in the copy of GE1 serving him as the basis, since on the basis of the notation of GE it is difficult to guess the correct version, and neither the reviser of EE nor the reviser of FESB succeeded at it). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in GE , Authentic corrections of FE , Revisions in FESB |
