b. 99

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Dots in A (→FE,EE) & GE

No dots in GC
..

GC overlooks the extending dots next to c1-e1 crotchets on the 2nd beat in the R.H. GE corrected this oversight.

issues: Inaccuracies in GC

b. 100

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

In FE1,  the 2nd crotchet in the bottom R.H. voice is printed on the level of c1 but because it has no ledger line it looks like d1. The omitted line was already added in FE2.

b. 101-102

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

 in EE
..

The lack of dynamic hairpins in GC (→GE) and FE ( ), and in EE () results from a misleading notation in A, where those signs can be mistaken for fragments of L.H. slurs.

b. 101

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

In A (→GC,FE1→FE2) there is no  lowering a to a in the L.H. The undoubted oversight by Chopin was corrected in EE, GE and FE3.
