b. 345-346

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Staccato dots in A

Wedges in GE (→FE,EE)
..

In both bars wedges instead of dots must have resulted from an ad hoc revision by the engraver of GE1, who unified these marks in the entire finale of the Variations.

b. 345-347

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Slur in b. 345-346 in AsI

No slurs in b. 345-346 in A (→GE→FE,EE)

3 slurs suggested by the editors

Continuous slur, our alternative suggestion

Slur divided after b. 345, our different suggestion

Slur divided after b. 346, our another suggestion
..

As in bar 342, the missing R.H. slurs in bars 345-346 are most probably Chopin's oversight, hence it would be appropriate to add slurs. We suggest three versions analogous to the complete versions of bars 341-343 and a fourth one modelled on the continuous slur in bars 359-361, yet maintaining separate the slur entered by Chopin into A at the beginning of bar 347. To the main text we choose the version analogous to the one proofread by Chopin in bars 341-343.

b. 345-347

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

Slurs to e & e1 in A

Slurs to d & d1 in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

Both A slurs clearly reach the beginning of the next bar. Therefore, the shorter ones in GE (→FE,EE,IE) must be considered a revision.

b. 345

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

..

In A the  to the 2nd and 6th L.H. quavers are missing. The accidentals were added in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

b. 345-346

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

Slurs in A

No slurs in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The missing slurs in GE (→FE,EE,IE) are most probably due to an oversight by the engraver of GE.
