b. 291-292

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

Like in b. 58-59, in FE1 there is not a single  raising g to g (in various octaves). The mistake was corrected in FE2 and EE.

b. 291-292

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In the tertial sequences in A and in all editions, there are no accidentals to the bottom note of the 2nd semiquaver on the 3rd beat of bar 291, which gives b2, the top note of the 1st semiquaver in bar 292 (b2) and the bottom note of the middle semiquaver in the triplet (b2). When interpreted literally, it is only the third one that sounds correctly; however, after adding the undoubtedly overlooked first two accidentals – a  to b2 and a  to b2, respectively – a  restoring b2 is necessary also there. We reproduce these patent mistakes only in the graphic transcriptions of the sources (the versions "transcript").

b. 291-292

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Staccato dot & slur in A

2 wedges in GE (→FE,EE)

Wedge in FESB
..

The version of the editions most probably resulted from revision and a mistake by the engraver of GE1 – after putting legato and the R.H. slur between the staves, there was no space left for the  hairpin and the L.H. slur. He placed the hairpin under the stave and most probably forgot about the slur, which, moreover, was quite inconspicuous in A. In this situation, it is difficult to consider the additional wedge authentic.
FESB overlooked the first wedge.

b. 292

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

2 slurs in A

3 slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE)

Slur in GE2
..

The division of the clear slur of A is a typical example of the manner of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE). In the main text we omit the additional slur over the quintuplet written in A – General Editorial Principles, p. 16.

b. 292

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

..

In the main text, we add a cautionary  before e2. The mark was added already in GE and EE.
