Text Compare Notes Sources Description

Issues : Errors repeated in EE

b. 289-290

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

In FE (→EE), in bar 290 (which opens a new great stave) the slur begins from the 1st note, even though the slur that started on the last note of the previous bar should be continued. The inaccuracy was corrected only in GE.

b. 300

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

Like in b. 274, the majority of the sources lack the  restoring g2 in the last octave in the bar. The mistake was corrected only in EE2 (→EE3) by adding sharps next to both notes of that octave. In the main text we add only the necessary  next to g2.

b. 305

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

FE (→EE1) has a c​​​​​​​1 in the chord at the end of the bar. It must be a mistake (false relation with the preceding note in the R.H., c2). The erroneous ​​​​​​​ was removed in GE and EE2 (→EE3).

b. 307

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

g1 in A (→FC→GE) & FESf

b1 in FE (→EE1), contextual interpretation, and EE2 (→EE3)
..

The 2nd small quaver in FE (→EE1) is an erroneous b1, which we interpret as b1, since overlooked accidentals are much more common than Terzverschreibung mistakes. This is how this place was revised in EE2 (→EE3), by adding a  before that note. The correction in ink performed in FESf restores the correct pitch of that note, i.e. g1.

b. 311

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

FE1 lacks both the  raising e1 to e1 at the beginning of the bar, and the  restoring e1 two quavers later. In EE1 only a  before the 1st quaver was added, while in FE2 was also added only a , but before the 3rd quaver! Therefore, it was either misplaced or supposed to be a . The text of GE and EE2 (→EE3) is correct.
