b. 282

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

No  in sources

[] suggested by the editors
..

We consider the omission of the  mark in this bar by Chopin an oversight, and in the main text we suggest a  in a harmonically natural place.

issues: No pedal release mark

b. 282

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In the 2nd half of the bar the top note of the 2nd L.H. quaver is a b in FE1. The mistake was corrected in FE2 (→EE).

b. 282-283

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

Slurs in A

No slurs in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The omission of the slurs/ties between the chords is an oversight by the engraver of GE (→FE,EE,IE). It cannot be ruled out that the engraver did not insert the slurs due to doubts regarding their significance and position with respect to the arpeggio wavy line.
Regardless of the possible dilemmas of the engraver of GE, the meaning of the bottom-most slur/tie concerning c is unclear – if c were to be tied, the arpeggio of the chord in bar 283 would concern only the top 3 notes, contrary to the notation. This resembles the issue discussed in bars 4-6.

Slur in EE and FE

GC (→GE)
..

In GC, the slur ends in bar 283 at the end of the page. The fact that it is not continued on the next page is probably an oversight. We adopt the consistent version of EE and FE.
