b. 244

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

No mark in FE, GE & EE

Wedge in FEG

Our variant suggestion
..

The wedge written by Chopin in FEG was not included in GE, which is most probably a result of the engraver's inattention. As it is also absent in FE and EE, we leave the inclusion of this indication at the discretion of the performer.

b. 244

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

..

The bar is not written correctly in any of the sources. In A four signs are missing: a  before the 5th semiquaver (d2) and flats before the 7th semiquaver (b) and before the last two semiquavers (b2 and d2). In GE (→FE→EE) only two signs were added: a necessary  before the 5th semiquaver (d2) and a cautionary  before the 14th semiquaver (d3). Moreover, A repeated a  before the bottom note of the last quaver in bar 244. The unnecessary sign was removed in EE1 (→EE2) and in GE2, but it was restored in EE3.
