b. 176

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

Chopin omitted a  lowering b2 to b2 at the beginning of bar, and a  restoring b1 in the 2nd half of bar. An oversight of both the alteration and its canceling may seem improbable but happened to Chopin a few times, e.g. in Etude in F minor, op. 25 no. 2, bar 56.

..

In A (→GC,FE1FE2) there is no  raising f1 to f1 in bar 178 and f to f in bar 182. The accidentals were added in EE, GE and FE3.

b. 181-184

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

No slurs in A (→FE,EE)

3 slurs in GC (→GE)

..

As in analogous bars 177-180, the three R.H. slurs were written into GC (→GE) almost certainly by Chopin. In GE1 the slur in bar 183, last in the line, reaches only the last semiquaver even though the next bar holds its ending. The flaw was rectified in GE2 (→GE3).

b-g1 tied in A (→FE) & GE3

b-g1 repeated in GC (→GE1GE2)

Only g1 tied in EE

..

The ties sustaining the sixth b-g1 were overlooked – both in GC (→GE1GE2), the lower one in EE. The mistake was corrected in GE3, possibly after FE.
