b. 247-248

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

No slur in A (→FE)

g1-f1 slur in GE & EE

..

The fourth slur, added by GE and EE, almost certainly resulted from an arbitrary revision, frequently encountered in Chopin's pieces; it consists in 'completing' slurs between the given chords – for example, if, like here, 3 slurs linked two four-note chords, it would be considered a mistake, and the 'missing' slur would be added (cf., e.g. the Mazurka in D, Op. 33 No. 3, b. 8-9 and analog. or in B, Op. 41 No. 2, b. 4-5 and analog.).

b. 247-251

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Semiquavers in AsI

Dotted rhythms in A (→GEFE,EE,FESB)

..

The rhythm with semiquavers only present in bars 247, 249 and the 1st half of bar 251 was written in AsI twice – as the earliest version (the initial one written in ink) and the latest one (corrections in pencil). While preparing the version for one piano for print, Chopin opted for dotted rhythms, which we give in the main text.
