b. 86-87

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

No slur in FE1 (→GE,EE)

Slur in FEO
..

Taking into account the slurs over all subsequent similar motifs, we consider the slur added – most probably by Chopin – to FEO to be a correction of a mistake and put it directly in the main text.

b. 102-105

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

No slurs in FE1 (→GE,EE)

Slurs in R.H. in FEO

Slurs in both hands, our variant suggestion
..

In the main text we include – in a variant form – the R.H. slurs entered most probably by Chopin between bars 102-103 and 104-105. Taking into account their convergence with the principal slurring pattern in this variation, we suggest adding respective slurs in the L.H. part as well.

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

..

In FE1 (→GE1,EE) there is a g1-d2 fifth on the 5th quaver in the bar. Chopin corrected it to a g1-c2 fourth in FEO; a similar correction was also introduced by GE2.
