b. 265-266

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

Arpeggio sign in bar 266 in GC (→GE)

Two arpeggio signs in FE (→EE)
..

One missing arpeggio in GC (→GE) is probably a result of an oversight of the copyist.

b. 265

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

No marking in A

in GE (→FE→EE)
..

One could be looking for Chopin's proofreading in  appearing in the editions. However, according to us, a misunderstanding is more likely – the engraver may have introduced by mistake the marking from the previous bar, or, upon looking at the bottom of the page of ½A, he repeated  written under the double bass part in Morch.

b. 265-266

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

Accents in A & GE2

No marks in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

There are neither traces of removal nor reasons to remove the accents in the proofreading of GE1, hence their absence is most probably an oversight. The signs were restored in GE2.

b. 265-267

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

..

In FE, there are no accidentals before the 7th semiquaver in bars 265 and 267 and before the 8th semiquaver in bar 266. Chopin's oversight of the naturals restoring a1 is obvious both in bars 265 and 267 (A minor chord in the L.H.) and in bar 266 (correctly written, identical bar 264). In all remaining editions, some or all missing naturals were added:

  • GE1 (→GE2) added accidentals in bars 265 and 267,
  • EE1 added a  in bar 266,
  • EE2 (→EE3) and GE3 contain the correct text.
