b. 340

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

Slur & staccato dot in A

Slur to c in GE (→FE,EE)

Slur to c in IE
..

We consider the A slur, led to the  preceding c, to be reaching this note. In GE (→FE,EE) it was led only to c. The fact that the interpretation of IE is compliant with ours must be an accident. The missing staccato dot is most probably an oversight by the engraver of GE (→FE,EE,IE).

b. 340-341

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

b. 341-342

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In EE na GC there is no  augmenting a to a in b. 342, which is obvious inaccuracy given  in the LH part. In GC there is no appropriate  in b. 341. FE and GE are correct.

b. 341

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

No markings in A (→GE)

  in FE (→EE)

( ) suggested by the editors
..

Both dynamic indications –  and  – were added in the proofreading of FE (→EE), undoubtedly by Chopin. They can be regarded as a completion of the indications of A, but it also seems possible that one can handle this bar with less contrast, which is suggested by the notation of A (→GE). Therefore, we leave their inclusion to the discretion of the performer.
