b. 238

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

..

We add a cautionary  before d​​​​​​​2 and a  before b2 in the main text. The former was added in GE3, whereas the latter already in GE and EE.

b. 238

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

No mark in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Wedge in GE3
..

The missing wedge in the majority of the sources may be a consequence of the mistake of the engraver of FE who placed the mark provided for this bar probably 2 bars later, in bar 240. A wedge was added in GE3, perhaps following the mark in bar 240.

b. 238

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

Staccato dot in A

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)
..

In the available photograph of A, it seems that below the horizontal line of the second f letter of the  marking, there is a staccato dot con­cerning the B-b octave. Its absence in FE (→GE,EE) can be explained by the fact that the marks blend into each other; therefore, we in­clude it in the main text. Due to the uncertainty of interpretation, made on the basis of a blur­red photograph, the version of the editions may be considered an equal variant.

b. 238

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

in A

No indication in FE (→GE,EE)

(), our variant suggestion
..

As there are no visible traces of removal of  in FE, it seems that the reason for the absence of this indication in the editions could be attributed to an oversight by the engraver. However, taking into account the possibility that it could have been accepted by Chopin, in the main text we suggest a variant solution.
