b. 305

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

 in GE (→FE)

in EE

..

Unlike in previous analogous bars, in this case the wavy lines following the  marks are also absent in FE, which must be an oversight. In the main text we add wavy lines, as was already done in EE.

b. 305

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

  in A (→GEEE,FESB)

The rhythm of A (→GEEE,FESB) is almost certainly erroneous, which is evidenced by the long accent, certainly referring to the note held slightly longer (with a dot). Chopin corrected his mistake while proofreading FE1 (→FE2); the correct version is also in AsI.

b. 305

Wedges & accents in AsI

5 wedges in A

10 wedges in GE (→FE,EE)

In the main text we keep the undoubtedly authentic and intentional notation of A, in which it is only the bass notes that are provided with staccato marks. The authenticity of the decision to provide all semiquavers with such marks is uncertain – according to us, it could have resulted from the engraver of GE1 impulsively considering the notation of A to be incomplete. The fact that Chopin wanted the bass notes to be performed differently than the chords is confirmed by the initial version of AsI.

b. 305-306

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slur to end of b. 305 in A, literal reading

Slur to beginning of b. 306 in GE

Slur to b. 310 in FE (→EE)

..

In A there is no slur over the final fragment of this theme, from bar 306, opening a new line. It must be Chopin's oversight, hence in the main text we include the respective fragment of the FE slur (→EE) as its complement. According to GE, the ending of the A slur in bar 305 suggested that it should be continued, and therefore it was led to the 1st note in bar 306.

b. 305

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

F1-c slur in A, literal reading

F1-e slur in A, possible interpretation

F-e slur in A, contextual interpretation & GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

When interpreted literally, the A slur encompasses more or less the notes ranging from F1 to c; it is undoubtedly inaccurate in this form. In this situation it seems natural to lead it to the end of the bar, yet in the main text we include the interpretation adopted by GE (→FE,EE,IE), in which the slur starts from the 2nd quaver, as Chopin clearly wrote it in a similar context in bar 293 and in the entire group of similar figures in bar 154, 162-163, 166-167, 170-171.
