b. 274

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

A cautionary  before a2 was added in GE. The corresponding sign visible in EE is also probably the reviser's addition, yet surely justified in the context.

b. 274

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

A cautionary  before b was added in GE2. The corresponding sign visible in EE is also probably the reviser's addition, yet definitely justified after b in the preceding bar.

b. 274

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

No markings in the sources

Pedalling suggested by the editors
..

The lack of pedalling in this bar may be regarded as Chopin's oversight – markings in the next two bars suggest that the composer did not link pedal indications with the lower bass note being struck. The complement suggested by the editors is particularly advisable when the pianist employs a division between hands implied by the score.

b. 274

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

Upper voice slur in A & GE2

Lower voice slur in GE1

Both slurs in FE (→EE)
..

The slur of the bottom voice, appearing in GE instead of the slur of the top voice written in A, is probably a mistake, although its addition by Chopin cannot be entirely excluded (e.g. if in the proof copy no slur was included, Chopin could have added two and the engraver only the bottom one). In any case, in the proofreading of FE (→EE) Chopin restored the top slur, without removing the bottom one, so that next to the version of A one can also notice the version of FE with two slurs. In the main text we give the version of A, since the authenticity of the bottom slur is not as unquestionable as of the top one; moreover, the top slur applies to the entire part of the R.H. by default.

b. 274

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

In FE (→EE1), there is no  raising a2 to a2. The error, obvious in this context, may have occurred already in [A]. The necessary accidental was added in GE and EE2 (→EE3). Similarly in bar 290.
