b. 197-199

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

No marks in the sources

Accents suggested by the editors
..

According to us, no accents in bars 197 and 199 can be considered to be an oversight of Chopin – see bars 185-188.

In GC (→GE) and FE there is no  raising f to f. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in EE, which, in spite of the fact that the base text to EE was corrected by Chopin, could have been performed by the reviser.

b. 197

c & c1 in the sources

c & c1 suggested by the editors
..

The oversight of the sharps is supported by a close analogy of bars 193-200 to bars 65-72 and no resolution of possible c and c1 to B and b in bar 198. Generally, the recapitulation of the second theme (bars 169-208) reveals features proving its less careful notation by Chopin – see the note to bars 185-188.

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

in A (→GE)

in FE (→EE)
..

Replacing  with  is almost certainly a result of Chopin's proofreading in FE (→EE), hence in the main text we give the latter.

b. 197

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

..

In A there is neither a  raising d2 to d2 in the marked place nor a  restoring d2 five semiquavers later. Corresponding signs are in the parts of oboes and clarinets in Morch, which confirms an imposing suspicion of Chopin's mistake. The signs were added already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2), in which one could see the composer's proofreading. In the main text we also add a cautionary  before b1; it is also in GE2.
