b. 225-227

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

In A (→FE), Chopin overlooked the sharps raising f3 to f3 in b. 225 and 227. The accidentals were added by EE, while GE repeated both accidentals before these sixths,  and .

b. 225-227

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  to a1 in b. 225. A respective accidental in b. 227 was already added by FE (→GE,EE), most probably at Chopin's request – cf. b. 217-219, in which Chopin wrote this  in A the second time, i.e. in b. 219.

A comparison with all analogous figures (b. 217, 219 and 227) proves Chopin's inadvertence here.

In GE we can see traces of removal of the top quaver beam and the stem to f2, which are present in the remaining editions. This means that the mistake consisting in printing them was committed in GE and that the correct text of this edition resulted from proofreading, performed after the GE copies serving as bases were handed over to the other publishers. The FE version most probably resulted from an unfortunate revision of this initial, erroneous version.
