b. 222

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

In FE (→GE,EE), there is a  before the 6th semiquaver. A comparison with four analogous bars (54, 62, 78 and 362) proves a mistake of the engraver in this place.

Dotted rhythm in FE (→EE)

Quavers in GE
..

The version of GE is probably an authentic original version, corrected by Chopin in FE (→EE) during last retouches. It is indicated by the layout of notes in FE, corresponding to the rhythm of GE and not FE, which may mean that the extending dot of c2 and the semiquaver beam next to d2 were added only just in print. Such rhythmic variations are frequent in Chopin's works, cf. e.g. the Polonaise in C minor, op. 26, no. 1, bar 61 or the Prelude in C minor, op. 45, bars 67 and 71.

b. 222

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

In GE, bar 222 opens a new great stave, resulting in an inaccurate slurring – a new slur begins on the 1st note, although the extended ending of the slur in the previous bar clearly points to its continuation.

Fingering written into FED

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

In the main text, we give the fingering of FED, which comes from Chopin. A similar hand position is suggested by Fontana in EE. In turn, the entry of FEH defines a different combination, much less convenient (it may be a mistake).

d1-f1 tied in FE (→GE,EE)

d1-f1 repeated in FEH

Our variant suggestion
..

In the main text, we allow a variant possibility of repeating the d1-f​​​​​​​​​​​​​​1 third, in accordance with the crossing-out of the ties in FEH in the preceding bar.
