b. 251

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Semiquavers in AsI & A (→GE1GE2,FE)

Dotted rhythms in EE, FESB & GE3

..

The version of EE, FESB and GE3 is most probably an arbitrary change performed by the revisers (engravers?), certain that the basis (in this case either GE1 or GE2) contained a mistake.

b. 251

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Slur in A

No slur in GE (→FE,EE)

..

The absence of a slur in the editions is almost certainly a consequence of the omission by the engraver of GE1.

b. 251

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

f1 in A (→GE)

d1 in FE (→EE)

..

In FE (→EE) the version of the bottom note of the 3rd quaver most probably resulted from Chopin's proofreading, which is indicated by the traces of corrections performed in print here. However, it is difficult to say what was being corrected, hence we cannot say that Chopin replaced the A sixth with the FE octave. Both versions are musically justified, both in terms of sound and voice leading, hence they can be considered equal variants. In the main text we give the version of the principal source, A.

b. 251

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In A and FE1 there is no  to the bottom note of the 7th quaver (g). If Chopin had wanted a g here, he would have certainly marked it with a natural. The mistake was corrected in FE2 (→EE) and GE.

b. 252-259

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

 
 
 
 
..

In all the sources accents in bars 252-259 are completely arbitrary. In A there are only two accents in b. 252 are marked along with the one on the first beat of b. 253. In GE there are no accents marked, while in the other sources they are missing from b. 253 only.
