Rhythm

b. 127-128

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

d1 tied in A (→FE,EE) & GE3

d1 repeated in GC (→GE1→GE2)
..

The tie sustaining d1 over the bar-line was omitted in GC (GE1→GE2) – the copyist might have taken it for deleted. It was only added in GE3.

b. 129-130

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Crotchet c tied in A (→FE,GC→GE)

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. 130-131

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Minim c tied in A (→FE,GC→GE)

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. 132

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Dotted crotchet in A (→FE,EE)

Crotchet without dot in GC (→GE)
..

The missing dot extending c in GC (→GE) is most likely a result of the copyist's oversight. The fact of sustaining this note slightly longer than in analogous bars 101 and 107 could have been related to its repetition in the middle of the previous bar.

b. 135-136

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

No tie in A (→FE,EE,GC→GE1)

Tie to g in GE2 (→GE3)
..

Over the bar-line in GE2 (→GE3), there is an arbitrarily added tie to g.
