b. 294-298

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

Crotchet A in A (→GE→FE,EE1,IE)

No A in EE2
..

The version of the last crotchet in bar 294 and 298 was introduced into EE2 probably by analogy with bar 306 and 310, in which a respective note (a) was omitted already in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

b. 294-296

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

No fingering in A (→GE→FE,IE)

Fingering in EE, interpretation
..

In the main text, we do not include the inauthentic L.H. fingering added by EE. In the 2nd half of bar 296 the same fingering is printed above and below the notes. This is probably an example of an unfinished correction, the aim of which was to move the digits, probably from above to below – new ones were added but old ones were not removed.

b. 295-296

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

2 slurs to f1 in A & GE2

2 slurs to g1 in GE1 (→FE→EE)

3 slurs to f1 suggested by the editors
..

The slurs of A are not entirely clear; however, it is difficult to assume that Chopin would like to end a slur before resolving the suspension, particularly since a similar measure was present already in the previous bar. In spite of this, GE1 (→FE→EE) includes slurs embracing three notes only, which was corrected in GE2. In the main text we also add a slur in the analogous figure in bar 296.

b. 295

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

..

In the part of the R.H. A (→GE1→FE) has only one , before the 2nd semiquaver. The necessary signs for the b2 and b3 notes were added in the remaining editions.

b. 295-304

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

No L.H. slurs in A (→GE1→FE)

L.H. slurs in EE & GE2
..

The slurs in the L.H. added in bars 295-296, 299-300, 302 and 304 in EE and GE2 are almost certainly an arbitrary revision. See bars 297-298.
