b. 215-218

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No signs in A (→FE→EE)

  in FC (→GE1)

  in GE2 (→GE3)
..

In the main text we reproduce the   hairpins after FC (→GE1), into which they were entered by Chopin. A precise interpretation of the range of the marks, particularly the first one, is hampered by an inaccurate synchronisation of the notation of the R.H. minims with the L.H. quavers. In GE2 (→GE3) both marks were extended so that they encompass two full bars, which does not result from Chopin's notation.

b. 215-216

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

  in A (→GE) & EE2

No markings in FE (→EE1)
..

As in bars 199-200, the pedal markings were probably added to A after the basis for FE had been finished, that is [FC]. In EE2 the marks were added after comparing it with GE1.

b. 215

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slur to f1 in sources

Slur to d1 suggested by the editors
..

In A the slur reaches only the 1st crotchet in the bar, which was repeated by all editions. According to us, it is, however, the most glaring example of the inaccuracies concerning the A slurs in this section – cf. the slurs beginning too early or ending too soon in bars 200-201, 204 and 206 as well as at the beginning of lines in bar 203, 213 and 219. Due to this, in the main text we give a slur reaching the 2nd crotchet, in accordance with the musical sense – cf. bar 199.
