Taking into account the articulation markings in the parts of both hands in the preceding passage (staccato dots) and in the pair of chords ending the theme (slurs), we consider the absence of the L.H. slur in the discussed place to be a defect of notation (because of Chopin or the FE engraver). Therefore, in the main text we include the addition introduced by GE and EE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

We assume that the wedge in FE (→EE) was supposed to refer to both octaves or that the other one was forgotten. However, this articulation should undoubtedly be implemented by both hands, hence in the main text we suggest the supplemented FE text (→EE). The absence of the mark in GE is most probably an oversight.

b. 63-65

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major
..
We consider the missing slurs in the L.H. top voice in bars 63-65 in FE (→GE,EE) to be Chopin's oversight (unless it is the engraver's one). Admittedly, the theme (bars 33-36 and analog.) is devoid of L.H. slurs, but in that case this voice moves in the same rhythm as the R.H. part, which naturally suggests the same phrasing. The impression that we are dealing with an oversight is enhanced by the presence of a slur in bar 66 and by numerous markings in the following bars, including slurs in analogous phrases in bars 81-86. Therefore, in the main text we suggest supplementing the missing slurs. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

b. 67

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major
..
The shorter slur of the sources is most probably inaccurate, since there is no reason for one of the few similar accompaniment figures in bars 67-69 to be marked differently than the others (without access to [A] it is difficult to say which version of slurs reproduces the Chopinesque notation more accurately – we assume that it is the more numerous slurs that are correct). Therefore, in the main text we prolong the slur over the first group of quavers, adapting it to the further ones. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE |

b. 67-76

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major
..
Most of the wedges present in FE (→EE) were arbitrarily changed to staccato dots in GE – see the note in bar 7. As the change covers all wedges included in GE, we consider the version of this edition one variant, on this page encompassing 11 marks in bars 67-70, 73 and 75-76, but we discuss the last two groups of bars separately due to the omission of wedges in EE – see the notes at the beginning of bar 73 and 75. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in EE , GE revisions |
