b. 2-8

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

Arpeggio signs in A (→GEFE,IE) & EE2

No signs in EE1

..

In EE1 these bars include only 2 arpeggio marks, at the beginning of bar 6 and 8. The engraver's patent oversight was corrected in EE2.

b. 5

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

No marking in A (→GEFE,EE,IE)

Arpeggio sign suggested by the editors

..

The missing arpeggio before the chord in the middle of the bar is almost certainly Chopin's oversight – wavy lines are present in both analogous bar 188 and 371.

b. 6

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

..

In A the arpeggio wavy line is on the right side of the chord, which almost certainly does not impact its meaning. In the editions it is in its common position. See I mov. of the Sonatabar 202.

b. 82-83

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

Arpeggio sign in b. 83 in A

No signs in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

Arpeggio signs in both bars suggested by the editors

..

In bar 82, the missing arpeggio in A is almost certainly due to Chopin's oversight – a side effect of the corrections (erasures) visible there. The absence of the mark in bar 83 in GE (→FE,EE,IE) can be explained similarly – inadvertence of the engraver of GE1.

b. 362

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

No G1 in sources

Grace note G1 suggested by the editors

..

The missing G1 note at the beginning of the bar seems Chopin's mistake, as it is present in analogous figures in bar 360 and 364. One can ponder whether the unwritten note was supposed to be an element of the octave, as in bar 360, or a grace note, as in bar 364; stylistic arguments are not enough to resolve this doubt. However, the latter seems more likely – in A the gap before the 1st note in bar 362 is clearly bigger than the resulting from the density of notation in this part of the page, which could be indicating an oversight of a planned element, e.g. a grace note.
