b. 371

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

..

As in bar 5, in A there is no  restoring B on the bottom note of the chord in the middle of the bar. Chopin's patent mistake, considering the context, was corrected in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

In the main text we suggest adding wedges over the first notes of the quaver groups after analogous bars 5-6 and 188-189.

b. 372-373

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

 In GC G-g and A-a are erroneously the last octave in b. 372 and the first in b. 373. The obvious error of the copyist was corrected in GE. We find the correct version in the remianing sources too.

b. 372

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

No mark in A (→GE→FE)

Short accent next to  in EE

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

According to us, the course of the music suggests a possible change of the performance manner of these motifs only from the next bar. Therefore, in the main text we suggest adding an accent in the discussed place.
In this place, EE, same as in all similar bars of this section, features a short accent attached to the  under the octave – see bars 269-275.

Long & short accent in FE

Short accents in GE & EE
..

The difference in the length of the accents in FE seems to be accidental – in bar 375, accents in a similar motif are all the same. Due to this reason, in the main text we give accents of the same length (short), just like in GE and EE.
