b. 11

..

We add cautionary naturals before e1 and d1 in the main text. The accidentals were also added in EE.

2 wedges in A, literal reading

Wedge in b. 11 in FC

4 wedges in FE (→EE)

Staccato dot in b. 11 in GE

..

In the main text, we add – as in bars 9-10 – separate wedges to the :\L.H. octaves. In the discussed bars, this notation also occurs in FE (→EE). The mark in b. 12 was overlooked in FC (→GE), and the other (a wedge in b. 11) was reproduced in GE as a staccato dot.

Grace notes before trill in A (→GE1EE)

Grace notes before & after in FE

..

According to the notation of AsI, the intended shape of the melody of this fragment always included the bottom second (b1), both in the introduction and the ending. Therefore, the fact that A (→GE1EE) does not include a written-out ending of the trill does not mean that Chopin intended a performance without an ending; it is simply an inaccurate notation. The changes introduced into GE2 and FE resulted from Chopin's intervention, whereas GE2 misinterpreted Chopin's indication, as a result of which the grace notes were encompassed with an octave sign and not added after the trill (as they should be).

Slur from semiquaver in A

Slur from quaver in GE (→FE,EE,FESB)

..

This is one of many inaccuracies of GE in the reproduction of Chopinesque slurs (as well as, e.g. dynamic hairpins), which would often be adjusted to clear rhythmic structures, e.g. beams or bars. However, it should be noted that A can also be imprecise in this respect – cf., e.g. b. 9.

b. 11

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  to f. In EE the accidental was added later, to the R.H. f1. In the penultimate L.H. octave, there is only one  in A, to the top note. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE (→FE,EE).
