b. 230

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No sign in A (FE→EE)

 in FC (→GE1)

 in GE2 (→GE3)
..

In the main text we give the  hairpin entered by Chopin into FC (→GE1). In subsequent GE the mark was arbitrarily shortened and moved to above the top stave. A similar situation can be found in b. 681.

b. 230

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

In A Chopin overlooked the  to the bottom note of the 1st L.H. octave (F). The accidental was added by FE (→GE,EE). In the R.H. part A includes a cautionary accidental only to e1. In the main text we also add naturals to c1 and c2; they were also added by GE and, gradually, by EE – to c1 in EE2 (→EE3), only to c2 in EE3.

b. 230

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

No fingering in A (→GE1→FE,EE)

Fingering in GE2 (→GE3,FESB)
..

The authenticity of the fingering added by GE2 (→GE3,FESB), regardless of it being clearly accurate, seems questionable – see bar 208. The fact that the fingering was added in this very bar could be explained by the urge to remind about this indication at the beginning of a page, which in the case of GE starts from this bar.
