b. 279

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Wedge in A, contextual interpretation

No mark in GE (→FE,EE)

..

Over the L.H. octave in A there is a staccato dot crossed through with a vertical line. According to us, it was most probably supposed to be a wedge with which Chopin wanted to replace the initial dot. However, in GE (→FE,EE) the correction was understood as a deletion of the mark, which, although possible, we consider less likely.

b. 279

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

 above chords in A (→GE)

below R.H. chords in FE (→EE)

Long accent under R.H. chord suggested by the editors

..

It is difficult to say what Chopin's motives were when he put such a long mark in a place that appears several times (even if we limit ourselves to the strictest analogy, 4 times – bar 283 and previously bar 112 and 116) and that he marked with clearly shorter signs the other times – long accents (bars 116-118, 277, 281 and 285) or their slightly longer counterparts. Therefore, in the main text we provide a long accent. The position of the marks – see bar 277

b. 279-280

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slur from quaver to b. 280 in A

Slur from minim to b. 280 in GE & EE

Slur in b. 279 in FE

..

In the main text we provide the unquestionable A slur, compliant with the one present in A in analogous bars 112-113. The GE and EE slurs, although compliant with the potentially authentic FE slur in the mentioned bars, cannot be coming from Chopin. The authenticity of the FE slur with a clearly wrong ending is also questionable.

b. 279

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

after quaver in A (→GE) & FE

before quaver in EE

..

The A (→GE) and FE pedal markings, resulting in a momentary overlapping of harmonies, are, according to us, inaccurate. Due to the above, in the main text we provide markings modelled after analogous bar 283. A similar change was also introduced by EE.

b. 279

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

ten. next to e in A

ten. above chord in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

In the main text we keep the unconventional position of the ten. indication in A. Chopin most probably wanted to emphasise the need to hold, particularly, the e note, which does not stem from the GE notation at all (→FE,EE,IE).
