b. 8-10

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

..

In bars 9-10 EE1 printed the text of bars 8-9 for the L.H. part, devoid of the majority of performance markings (except the  in bar 10). The mistake is serious enough to hamper the reconstruction of the correct text, hence we do not provide the content transcription here. EE2 corrected the defect.

b. 31-32

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

G-g tied in A

G-g repeated in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The absence of the ties to the G-g octave is most probably due to a mistake by the GE engraver (→FE,EE,IE).

Tied crotchets in sources

Minim suggested by the editors

In the main text we suggest a more legible version of the 2nd and 3rd beat in the R.H. part than the original one. Our suggestion is justified by a situation in mov. IV of the Sonata in which Chopin used two different versions of notation in the same phrase: the first time he wrote down a chord using ties within a bar – cf. bar 57 and 61 – and the second time he switched to a neater version with the use of greater rhythmic values and division into parts.

b. 32-33

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

b1 tied in A

b1 repeated in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The missing tie to b1 is most probably an oversight by the GE engraver (→FE,EE,IE).

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

..

As in bars 8-10, of which these bars are a non-written-out repetition, In EE1 a mistake was committed by printing the text of bars 40-41 (without the majority of performance markings) in place of bars 41-42 (the L.H. part). In EE2 the defect was corrected.
