b. 284

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No sign in EE

 in GC (→GE) & FE
..

The asterisk  was omitted in EE, probably by oversight.

b. 284-285

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

Missing from EE and FE is the bass clef restoring the bass register within the system after the treble clef on the lower stave (the last bar to which the treble clef applies is bar 283). However, the structure of the figuration in bar 286 and its graphic layout make the misreading of the text in this and the following bars practically impossible. In GC, bar 284 opens a new page and the bass clef is written there at the beginning of the line. In GE, the bass clef was added at the end of the line, in bar 284.

b. 284-285

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

a & A in FE0

e & A1 in FE1 & FEG (→GE)

e & A1 in FED (L.H.)

a & octave in EE
..

Chopin changed the original version of FE0 to a more virtuoso one and with fuller sound in FEG (→GE) and FE. The different version of EE is most probably authentic as well, while the enhancement and expansion of the sound (with respect to the original version) was reached by the undoubtedly easier pianistic grip. In the main text we give the version of two editions, FE and GE, confirmed somehow by the entry in FED indicating to take over e by the L.H. (cf. bars 283-284).

b. 284

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

c2 in FE & GE

Third in EE
..

The third on the 1st quaver is certainly a mistake of FE0 (→EE) – Chopin corrected it in FEG (→GE) and in the finished FE.

b. 284

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

Slur to e2 in A

Slur to e2 in GE (→FE→EE)
..

In the main text we give the version of A, in which Chopin marked the ending of the slur on the e2 crotchet with a pronounced penstroke. The version of GE (→FE→EE), probably proofread by Chopin, can be considered equal.
