b. 62-63

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In these bars GE does not include the dashes marking the range of cresc. It must be a mistake – the marks were overlooked after moving on to the next line.

b. 63-64

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slur in b. 63 in A, literal reading

Slur to b. 64 in GE & FE (→EE)
..

In A the slur ends abruptly at the end of bar 63. In this bar, however, the slur line is dashed due to the running-out pen, hence it is uncertain whether the visible ending of the slur was the one intended by Chopin. In bar 64, at the beginning of a new page, there is no ending to the slur. Nevertheless, both GE and FE (→EE) led the slur to the beginning of this bar, which means that both readers of A – the copyist and the engraver of GE – assumed that the slur in bar 63 suggested that it should be continued. In view of the doubts concerning the reliability of the A notation, in the main text we give its interpretation adopted by the editions.

b. 64-66

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In A (→FE1) there are no accidentals to the last quavers in bars 64 and 65 – a cautionary  to c3 and a  lowering g1 to g1, respectively. Both accidentals were added by FE2 (→EE) and GE. In EE a cautionary  to c1 in bar 66 was also added. We include all the above accidentals in the main text.
