Issues : Errors of A

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete
..
We consider the version of A (→GE1) to be erroneous, which is indicated by the orchestral part – an F in cellos and double basses is both in the later version of AsI and in the voices of GE and FE. The correct version of FE almost certainly resulted from Chopin's correction, probably introduced still into the copy of GE1 serving as the basis for that edition – there are no visible traces of changes in print. The corrections present in GE2 (→GE3,FESB) and EE2 (→EE3) can be considered revisions on the basis of orchestral parts. In the case of GE2, Chopin's intervention is also likely; his participation in the preparation of that edition is generally questionable, yet it cannot be excluded to a limited extent. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Terzverschreibung error , GE revisions , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE |

composition: Op. 24 No. 3, Mazurka in A♭ major
..
A has no pedal release mark in this bar. A comparison with the concurrent version in all analogous bars (9, 29 & 33) lets us regard this lack as a mistake. In the main text, in keeping with the A notation in these bars we supplement the mark at the end of bar. In GE1 (→FE→EE) the asterisk was added under a rest, in accordance to a rule applied by GE in the entire opus. It is probably an editor's revision although Chopin's correction cannot be completely ruled out. The mark's placement in AI is not quite clear— falls under the R.H. quaver g1 but before the rest in the L.H. We take the latter relation as authoritative. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of GE |

composition: Op. 10 No 10, Etude in A♭ major
..
In the 2nd four-bar section Chopin wrote the accidentals less carefully. In A (→FE) there are no naturals before b2 in bar 5 and d3 in bars 7-8. These patent oversights were corrected in GE and EE (in EE3 the in bar 7 was not completed). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , Errors of A |

composition: Op. 26 No 1, Polonaise in C♯ minor
..
A (→FE→GE1,EE) includes an erroneous A2-C tenth. It is a patent error of Chopin in the number of the ledger lines. The pitch of the note was corrected in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Terzverschreibung error , Errors in the number of ledger lines , Errors of A |
