b. 1-23

composition: WN 55, Waltz in F minor

..

The first page of FC, to bar 23, has not been preserved to the present day. In the abbreviated markings of sources from Fontana's version we adopt:
- to bar 23: F = PE, FEF, GEF
- from bar 23: F = PE, FEF, GEF and FC.

In AG, Chopin did not write the time signature; the remaining sources feature a 3/4 marking.

b. 1

composition: WN 55, Waltz in F minor

In this place, CC includes a single bar line, without repeat signs. After the first volta, there is a double bar line, yet also without repeat signs. We consider it to be an inaccuracy of notation in this source, one of many. In another copy of the Waltz, commenced on the verso of CC, there is a double line, without repeat signs. A similar situation occurs in CX – there is a single bar line, without repeat signs. The remaining sources feature a double bar line with repeat signs in this place. In FEF and GEF the repetition is written out with notes.

b. 1-22

composition: WN 55, Waltz in F minor

..

PE completed all possible rests in the voices in the L.H.; however, the general text overlaps with FEF and GEF. It results only from the editor's aim to precisely write out and to order, in terms of rhythm, multiple parts in the L.H. In further annotations, concerning the occurrence of this type of rests, we consider all those sources jointly and we display the more transparent version, without rests, by default (generally the graphic version of FEF and/or GEF). 

Another common revision in the F sources is prolonging the rhythmic value of the 1st beat in the L.H. - to a minim (most often in #CF) or a dotted minim (PE, FEF and GEF). In the majority of the cases, it is an editorial revision. In the case when the extension of the 1st beat applies to the version of F only, we do not include variants with miniatures. An exception are the situations in which the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar in F are different than in the remaining sources and when the prolonged 1st beat is confirmed by other sources - in such situations we make it possible to change the rhythmic variant of the 1st beat in the L.H.

b. 1-2

composition: Op. 27 No 1, Nocturne in C# minor

No slur in GE (→FE)

Slur in EE

..

The slur in EE is certainly an inauthentic addition. A similar revision was also introduced in EE in bars 84-85 and 86-87. Cf. Nocturne in D No 2, bars 2-6.
