b. 266-267

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

As in analogous bars 109-116, the slurs over the octave sequences are certainly supposed to reach the final crotchets. It was generally precisely marked in the sources except a minor inaccuracy due to the transition to a new line – in A and FE there is no ending of the slur from bar 276 in bar 277. It was corrected both in GE and EE.

b. 266

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Chord with a2 in A (→GE)

Octave in FE (→EE)
..

The absence of a2 in FE (→EE) probably resulted from the inaccurate [FC] notation – notes written down as dots, as it was performed by both Chopin and Fontana, were sometimes very poorly visible at the intersection of a stem and a ledger line.

b. 266

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Separate slurs in A (→GE)

Continuous slur in FE (→EE)
..

The range of the FE slur deviates from the slurs in all three previous analogous places (bars 95-96, 99-100 and 262-263), which suggests a mistake by the copyist or by the engraver.

b. 266-268

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

..

In A there are no accidentals in the 2nd half of bar 266 and 268. They were added in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

b. 266-268

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

2 cresc. in A

No indications in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The missing cresc. at the end of bar 266 and 268 is almost certainly a revision by the engraver of GE, who made his work easier by omitting indications he considered pleonastic next to the  hairpin.
