b. 120

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Chords with d2 in A (→GE) & FE2 (→EE)

Chords without d2 in FE1
..

The absence of 4 d2 notes in the chords in the 2nd half of the bar in FE1 must be a mistake, corrected in FE2 (→EE).

..

As in bar 109 and analog., the  hairpins in bars 120-121 and 122-123 were almost certainly added to A as part of corrections and additions after [FC] had been finished, which explains their absence in FE (→EE1). However, their range in A is questionable – it is uncertain whether they end before or after the bar line. We provide marks of varied length as the A version, whereas in the main text we lead both marks to the next bar, in accordance with the unanimous A version in analogous bars 287-290. In EE2 the mark in bar 120 was added after comparing it with GE1.

b. 121

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In the 1st chord FE1 overlooked the  raising d2 to d2. The patent mistake was rectified in FE2. See also bar 123.

b. 121-122

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slur in A (→GE), FE & EE2

No slur in EE1
..

The missing slur in EE1 must be an oversight, corrected in EE2 after comparing it with GE1 (the e1 crotchet was also added at the beginning of bar 122, removed in FE – see the next note).

b. 122

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

e-e1 in A (→GE) & EE2

e in FE (→EE1)
..

The FE (→EE1) version resulted from Chopin's correction – the traces of removal of e1 are visible in FE (among the copies presented in our system, most clearly in FE2). In EE2 the note was restored, most probably after comparing it with GE1. In Chopin's pieces there are many examples of chords in the middle or high register with both tripled and quadrupled bass.
