..

In GE1 (→GE2), there is no  raising d2 to d2. The patent mistake was corrected in GE3.

b. 560-561

No slurs in FE (→GE)

3 slurs in EE

The slurs of EE are an arbitrary addition of the reviser.

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

GE1 overlooked the arpeggio sign before the L.H. chord. It was reinstated in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 560-579

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

8 longer, 6 shorter slurs in A, literal reading

8 longer, 6 shorter slurs in FC, literal reading

14 longer slurs in FE (contextual interpretation→EE, contextual interpretation)

7 longer, 7 shorter slurs in GE1

14 longer slurs in GE2 (→GE3)

The slurs encompassing the ostinato quaver figures in A are of different length: some reach the following crotchet, some do not. Statistically, it is the former that clearly prevail: 8 longer, 6-note slurs to only 4 shorter and 3 questionable ones (we interpret the questionable ones literally as short). The remaining sources do not show traces of Chopin's influence on the range of those slurs; except for minor inaccuracies, FC and GE1 reproduce the text of their Stichvorlagen, while FE (→EE) contain longer slurs only (we discuss b. 574-575 separately due to FE having overlooked the slur). In this situation, we base the main text on the above analysis of the notation of A; taking into account a high degree of structural and functional similarity of the discussed motifs, we suggest uniform, 6-note slurs in all figures.

b. 561

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

..

In FE, there is no  raising c3 to c​​​​​​​3. The patent mistake was corrected in GE and EE. In turn, the missing  restoring g3, necessary in this context, even as a cautionary accidental, was added only in GE.
