b. 221

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

Fingering written into FEO

No teaching fingering

..

In the main text we include the "1" fingering digit added most probably by Chopin to the FEO teaching copy.

b. 221-222

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

Staccato dots in A

Wedges in GE (→FE,IE)

No marks in EE

..

As in bars 216-219, the use of wedges in GE (→FE,IE) rather does not derive from the A notation. In EE the marks were overlooked.

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

No fingering in A (→GEFE,IE)

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

Probable long accent in FEG

Short accent in FE, GE & EE

..

The accent written by Chopin in FEG does not differ in the size from the next ones, yet in GE1 it was interpreted as short. Perhaps the engraver paid attention to a slightly different shape of the sign; he could have also assumed that an accent would be more suitable over the crotchet, while over the pair of quavers – a short diminuendo (this is how the engravers would treat Chopin long accents). FE and EE also have short accents, however, it does not give certainty – as in the case of GE1 – as to Chopin's intention. Without access to a photography of FEG with higher revolution, not to mention finding the base texts to FE and EE, this issue seems to be impossible to resolve.

b. 222-224

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

Three long accents in GC

Two long accents in FE

Three short accents in EE

Three different accents in GE

Our variant suggestion

..

The missing accent in bar 223 could be considered to be an inaccuracy of the engraver of FE, if it were not for Chopin proofreading of the analogous fragment of the exposition, in which he removed, among others, the counterpart of the accent (see bars 93-96). On the other hand, the authenticity of three accents of GC does not raise any doubts, whereas the third accent added in EE may come from Chopin. Therefore, in the main text we suggest variant solutions.
All three accents of GC are long and it is in this form that we give them.
