b. 16

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

No fingering in A (→GEFE,EE1,IE)

Fingering in EE2

..

In the main text, we do not include the inauthentic L.H. fingering added by EE2.

b. 17-18

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

Slurs in A

No slurs in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

The slurs starting in bar 17 are poorly visible in A, which could have led to them having been omitted by GE (→FE,EE,IE). In addition, the notation of the L.H. part on the top stave (not included in our transcriptions) would have made it difficult for the engraver, even if he had noticed these slurs.

b. 17-23

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

cre-scen-do & di-mi-nu-en-do in A

cresc. dimin. in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

In the main text we reproduce the crescendo and diminuendo indications after A. In the case of crescendo, the simplified version of the editions is inaccurate – the indication was placed only just in the next bar.

b. 20

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

Separate slurs in A, literal reading

Continuous slur in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

The A slur cuts off after the 1st quaver in the bar; however, it is likely that Chopin wanted to combine the slurs. Therefore, the GE version (→FE,EE,IE) could be considered an equal variant.
