b. 195-196

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No slurs in FE

2 slurs in GE & EE
..

Like in b. 51-52, of which the discussed bars are a literal repetition, the slurs overlooked in FE were added in GE and EE.

b. 195-197

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Staccato dot in FE (→GE)

3 wedges in EE

3 dots suggested by the editors
..

Like in b. 51-53, of which the discussed bars are a literal repetition, the staccato dot under the bass B1 note is present in FE (→GE) only the first time (in b. 51). In the main text we add the two remaining dots. The marks were also added in EE, yet the dots were arbitrarily changed to wedges.

b. 195

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

Slur & dots in A & EE

No markings in FE (→GE)
..

The missing slur and dots in FE (→GE) must be an oversight by the engraver; he also overlooked a slur in the previous bar. The markings were added by EE.

b. 195-205

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

No L.H. slurs in A (→FE→GE,EE1→EE2)

L.H. slurs in EE3
..

In the main text we add slurs to the staccato dots with which the pairs of L.H. crotchets are marked in these bars (Chopin wrote such slurs only in the 2nd halves of b. 196, 198 and 200). We provide an extensive justification of this decision in the note concerning b. 9-21. As was the case there, slurs were added here also by EE3 (except for the 2nd half of b. 199).
Isolated cases of adding slurs, probably resulting from the engravers' mistakes, are visible in GE1a in the 2nd half of b. 195, in GE (including in GE1a) in the 2nd half of b. 201 and in FE and all the remaining editions in b. 202.

b. 195-197

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

In A one can see deleted slurs over the pairs of D crotchets in the 1st halves of b. 195 and 197. According to us, it does not mean that the articulation of those crotchets is to be different from the preceding similar pairs in b. 194 and 196. The removal of the slurs was aimed at maintaining a consistent notation of the entire section (b. 194-205), compliant with the notation applied in b. 9-21, in which the L.H. part slurs are put only where the accompanying pairs of crotchets, provided with slurs, are absent in the R.H.
