b. 43-50

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

..

In A the L.H. part is written in shorthand – only top octave notes and the segue con 8 - - - indication. In the editions it was written in full.

b. 43-46

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

No slurs in A

3 slurs in GE (→FE,IE)

2 slurs in EE

..

In bars 43-44 and 46 the L.H. quaver groups are not encompassed with slurs. As the vast majority of analogous motifs, both before (bar 16 and 42) and after (bars 171-174, 207-208, 241 and 243), is provided with slurs in A, we add similar slurs in these places too. The slurs were also added by GE (→FE,EE,IE), while in bar 43 EE overlooked the slur. The range of the slurs can be questionable – see the note on bars 45-48. In accordance with the analysis carried out in those bars, we adopt here four-quaver slurs as well.

b. 43-55

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

..

In this entire fragment, in the R.H. part led mainly in octaves, accidentals before both notes are present only in 3 of them – d1-d2 in bar 44 and 50 and e1-e2 in bar 52. Among the remaining octaves that require the use of accidentals, the majority of them feature an accidental only before the top note, while only three before the bottom note – b1 in bars 53-54 and d2 in bar 54. All necessary accidentals were added by GE (→FE,EE,IE).

b. 45

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

No marking in A

Slur in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

Our variant suggestion

..

According to us, the fact that one of 5 analogous motifs was left without a slur can be ascribed to Chopin's oversight in A, hence in the main text we suggest adding a slur. It was also added by GE (→FE,EE,IE). See also the note on bars 43-48.

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

In the main text we add cautionary flats to the E-e octave and naturals to the d1-d2 octave.
