b. 239

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

B1-B in the sources

B2-B1 suggested by the editors

..

The descending bass line in two previous bars suggests the use of a B2-Boctave, absent in the pianos being at Chopin's disposal (the range of his instruments reached C1).

b. 239-241

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

Staccato dot in GC (→GE) & FE

No marks in EE

Two dots suggested by the editors

..

The absence of the staccato dot over the 2nd crotchet in bar 239 in EE may be linked to the addition of slurs, however, according to us, the authenticity of the dot's omission is not certain – the engraver of EE could have overlooked it or considered it to be superfluous with relation to the added slur. Due to the fact that the added slurs are of a phrasing character in this texture (and not articulation), in the main text we suggest dots in both analogous bars 239 and 241.

b. 239-242

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

..

The pedalling of these bars in FE and GE1 includes mistakes and inaccuracies:

  • in FE there is no  sign in bar 241 (a patent mistake);
  • in GE1 there are no  signs in bars 239-240 and the entire pedalling in bars 241-242 (and subsequent ones).

We give the unambiguous indications of GC and EE and GE2.

in A & GE2

No marking in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The absence of  is one of many oversights of GE1 (→FEEE) in this and the previous bars. The sign was restored in GE2.
