Pitch

b. 73-78

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

In bars 73 and 75 some sources erroneously leave superfluous cautionary  next to D in the L.H. In bar 73 a  appears only in EE and in GE2 (→GE3), while in bar 75 it was left in GC (→GE) and in EE.

b. 73

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

The last semiquaver in the L.H. was certainly corrected in GC from e to f. It is hard to state clearly whether it is Gutmann's own correction or whether it was Chopin that noticed and corrected the wrong pitch while reviewing GC. Cf. the note in bar 13.

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

We add the flats, overlooked in A (→GC,FE), lowering e1 to e1 and a1 to a1 in the R.H. A similar addition was performed in EE and GE.
