b. 245

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

Chord with c2 in GC & FE1 (→FE2→EE1)

Chord with c2 in GE, FE3 (→FE4) & EE2
..

The chord with c2 is most probably a result of an oversight of the composer, which is confirmed by the  added – probably by Chopin – in FE3 (→FE4).

b. 245-247

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

 
 
 
..

One missing accent in bar 245 and 3 missing accents in bar 247 are almost certainly a result of Chopin's oversight (which remained uncorrected in the proofreading of FE) or a mistake of the engraver. We suggest adding these probably missing marks. The accents in bar 247 were added already by the reviser of EE.

b. 245

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

No slur in FE (→EE)
 
 
..

We add a slur for the last triplet in the bar, undoubtedly overlooked by the engraver (or Chopin). A similar addition was most probably performed by the reviser of GE.

b. 245-250

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

Tenuto slurs in A

Regular slurs in GE (→FE→EE)
..

Both in bar 246 and bar 250 the slur in A reaches almost the end of the bar, which we interpret as a slur-tenuto and we keep it in the main text. In GE (→FE→EE) the slurs end in a conventional manner, reaching only the minim on the 2nd beat of the bar.

b. 245-246

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

g repeated in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

g tied in GE2
..

The tie of g was not marked by Chopin in any authentic source. If we take into account a similar phrase 4 bars further, one can assume Chopin's oversight. However, since bars 245 and 249 differ in the context in which the g is played, in the main text we leave the version of A.
