b. 356

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

The first finger indicated by Fontana in EE only confirms the fingering scheme marked by Chopin in print.

b. 356

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

No 8¯ ¯ ¯ in A (→GE1→FE1,EE1→EE2)

8¯ ¯ ¯ in AsI, GE2 (→GE3,FESB), FE2 & EE3
..

The version of A must be erroneous, which is indicated by a comparison with analogous bar 342, the text of AsI and probably Chopinesque proofreading of FE2. An octave sign was also added in GE2 (→GE3,FESB) and EE3. If – which is likely – the change in EE3 was introduced on the basis of a comparison with FE, it means that a copy of FE2 was used.

b. 356

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

b1 in AsI

b1-d2 in A (→GE→FE,EE)
..

The absence of d2 in the 15th semiquaver in AsI is almost certainly Chopin's mistake.

b. 356-357

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

Slurs in A

No slurs in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The absence of the slurs in the editions is due to the carelessness of the engraver of GE, who either overlooked or omitted the slurs, which are difficult to engrave (in the original notation with the use of an octave sign, the slurs fall on the stave).
