b. 12-13

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt III

..

Same as in bars 2, 5 and 8, in GC the repeating fragments of these bars – parts of both hands in bar 12 and part of the L.H. in bar 13 – are marked in an abbreviated manner with /• signs. The interpretation of this notation, certainly repeated after [A], is not entirely clear – see bars 11-13.

b. 12

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt IV

..

In GC (→GE) and FE1 (→FE2EE1) there are no naturals raising the 10th quaver to d1(2), which in this context is a patent oversight. The sign in the R.H. was added in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4,FE5), whereas in FE5 was added also in the L.H. A natural in the part of the R.H. is also in Afin, in which, due to the abbreviated way of notation of the L.H., it refers to both hands.

b. 12-13

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

No slur in AI

Slur from bar 12 in A (contextual interpretation)

Slur from bar 13 in FE (→EE,GE1op,GE1no2)

Slur from beginning of bar 12 in GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2no2

..

On the available photocopy of A, the slur in bar 12 starts from the 3rd quaver. We shift the beginning one quaver earlier, analogously to bar 10. In FE (→EE,GE1op,GE1no2) the slur starts – undoubtedly erroneously – only in bar 13, however in bar 140, based on the notation of bar 12 in A, the slur of FE begins exactly on the 2nd quaver of the bar, which supports the solution we adopted. In later GE, the starting point of the slur was moved to the beginning of bar 12, most probably by analogy to the notation of bars 140-141 in GE.

b. 12

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

Two-quaver slur in A

Four-quaver slur in GE1 (→FEEE)

Three-quaver slur in GE2

..

The two-quaver slur of A is most probably inaccurate (cf. similar figures in, e.g., the previous bars). Therefore, in the main text we give a longer slur, corresponding to the slurring of analogous figures. A similar solution was adopted in GE2. The half-bar slur of the remaining editions is certainly an arbitrary decision of the engraver of GE1.

b. 12

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

2 grace-note slurs in A

2 slurs in GE1 (→FEEE)

Grace-note slur in GE2

..

The slur added in GE1 (→FEEE), clearly incompatible with the accompaniment's texture, is certainly erroneous, which contributed to it having been omitted by the reviser of GE2, who, above all, would check compliance with A. As far as A is concerned, one of two slurs combining the grace note with the note seems to be superfluous, however, Chopin could have wanted to show that the grace note concerns both voices on the 3rd beat of the bar.
