b. 255

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

GE1 has a superfluous cautionary  next to g1 on the 3rd crotchet. The sign was removed already in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 255

 from 1st third in A

 in GE2

All minor differences in the range of this sign appearing in the editions are certainly of random nature. In this case, the sign certainly means a "very long" accent, hence shifts both in GE1 and GE2 distorted its sense.

Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering

..

The fingering coming probably from Chopin – compatible with the authentic fingering of the Etude in G minor, Op. 25 No. 6, bars 57-59 – is written in FED (with a pupil's hand).

b. 255-256

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

No L.H. slur in A

2 slurs in bar 256 in GE1 (→FE)

3 slurs in EE

1 slur in GE2

..

A possibility that Chopin added such slurs in the L.H. in bar 256 in the proofreading of GE1 has to be firmly rejected. However, he could have added there the same slur as in the R.H., which was implemented by the engraver in a distorted form. It allows to confer a certain likeliness of authenticity on the slur of GE2. In the main text, we stick to the notation of A, since the need to perform the part of the L.H. with the same phrasing and articulation as in the R.H. is obvious here. The slurs of EE, being a completed version of the erroneous slurs of GE1 (→FE), are certainly arbitrary.
