b. 273

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

The second note in the L.H. part in AsI, A (→GEFE) 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.

In EE the instrument indication was changed: from the Chopinesque "Cello" to "V-llo", which, of course, denotes the same instrument. In FESB the marking reads "Collo", which is a mistake.

Accent in A (→GEFE,FESB)

No mark in EE

..

We consider the missing accent in EE to be the engraver's oversight; he probably forgot about it due to the need to change the beaming (in EE the first two beats of the L.H. part are connected by one beam).

A cautionary  before a2 was added in GE. The corresponding sign visible in EE is also probably the reviser's addition, yet surely justified in the context.

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

A cautionary  before b was added in GE2. The corresponding sign visible in EE is also probably the reviser's addition, yet definitely justified after b in the preceding bar.
