b. 203

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

All sources include sharps (cautionary?) to A and a. In the main text we omit these unjustified accidentals. Similarly, in bar 219.

b. 203-204

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slur over triplet in sources

Longer slur suggested by the editors
..

The longer slur we suggest is justified by the A notation in analogous bars 219-221. Both slurs present there go beyond the bar line, which suggests that they should be led to the beginning of the next bar.

b. 203

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

Slur from d to b in A, literal reading

Four-quaver slur in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

In A the L.H. slur in the 1st half of the bar encompasses only the 2nd and 3rd quaver. It is almost certainly one of the more glaring examples of the inaccurate notation in this autograph (in this respect), hence to the main text we adopt the editions' interpretation of this slur.

b. 203

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

..

In the main text we include the cautionary  to b1 added in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

b. 203-206

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

Slurs from 2nd to 4th semiquaver in FE (→GE,EE)

Slurs over whole motifs suggested by editors
..

As in bars 199-200, we consider the FE slurs (→GE,EE) to have resulted from a misinterpretation (except the second one in bar 204). The slurs suggested in the main text are based on a possible reconstruction of the [A] slurs.
