b. 129

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Slur from d1 in A (→FE,EE)

Slur from c in GC (→GE)

..

The earlier beginning of slur in GC (→GE) is an unintended result of a slight displacement of its origin.

b. 129-130

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Crotchet c tied in A (→FE,GCGE)

c repeated in bar 130 in EE

..

The version of EE may be an ordinary oversight of the dot and the tie prolonging the c crotchet, although a revision cannot be excluded, e.g. omission of the tie due to the missing dot. GC (→GE) is also lacking the dot, which is a patent mistake in the face of the tie.

b. 130

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

2 slurs in A (→EE,EE)

1 slur in GC (→GE)

..

In A the slur in the L.H. was corrected – Chopin originally wrote one slur embracing the upper voice of the L.H. from the middle of bar 129 to the middle of bar 131, then he corrected it by dividing it into two parts in the middle of bar 130. This corrected variant was included in FE and EE, while in GC there is a version with one slur starting earlier, that is from the quaver in the bottom voice, which was then repeated in GE. In the main text we give the corrected version of A.

b. 130-131

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Minim c tied in A (→FE,GCGE)

c repeated in bar 131 in EE

..

The EE version results most probably from an oversight of the tie extending the minim c. GC (→GE1) overlooked the dot extending this note what was corrected in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 131

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Arpeggio sign in A (→EE,GCGE)

No arpeggio sign in FE

..

The lack of the arpeggio sign is most probably an oversight by the engraver of FE.
