b. 83-84

composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor

 in FE (→EE)

Accent in GE

Possible alternative interpretation

..

It is hard to determine whether the clear difference between FE (→EE) and GE follows the equally clear difference between [A1] and [A2], as such a sign of mid-length could have been interpreted differently by the engravers of FE1 and GE. According to us, it is more likely that the  hairpins recreate the notation of the autograph more accurately.

b. 84-85

composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor

No markings in FE (→EE)

Pedalling in GE

..

The pedalling, present only in GE, is probably an element of a slightly more diligent development of [A2] by Chopin.

b. 85-86

composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor

 in FE (→EE)

..

Both versions of the range of  seem to be justified. We give priority to the version of GE, which is perhaps later.

b. 85

composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor

Rhythmic notation in FE1

GE and FE2

Our suggestion

..

The notation of the octave a1-ain FE and GE is certainly inaccurate, which was corrected by the reviser of #EE. In that edition, however, one extending dot was added next to a1, which indicates a misunderstanding of Chopin's simplified notation, in which the progression a1-g1 of the lower voice was not separated.

b. 87-88

composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor

 in FE1

  in GE & FE2

 in EE

..

The main text based on GE and FE2 and the version of FE1 present two possible interpretations of dynamic signs in this place. Shorter hairpins in EE probably result from an attempt to avoid crossing  with the slur in the L.H.
