composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

In A (→GC,FE) the  raising c2 to c2 is only written before the 8th semiquaver. The accidental before the 2nd semiquaver was added in EE and GE, but only EE removed the then superfluous  in the 2nd half of the bar.

Slur in A (→FE) & GE

No slur in GC & EE

..

GC and EE overlook the slur in the L.H. Despite the error of GC, the revisers of GE added the slur after analogous bars 145-146, which do not raise any doubts.

e3-c3 in A (→EE) & FE2 (→FE3)

e2-c2 in GC (→GE) & FE1

..

As a result of misinterpretation of the octave sign, GC (→GE) and FE1 erroneously notate the first two semiquavers of the 2nd half of the bar an octave higher – e3-c3 instead of e2-c2. The error was corrected in FE2 (→FE3), most probably by Chopin.

Slur in A (→FE)

No slur in GC (→GE) & EE

..

The lack of slur under the bass progression results most likely from an oversight of the copyist in GC (→GE) and the engraver of EE.
