b. 1

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

No title nor dedication in A

Ballade à [...] Schumann in GC (→GE) & FE

"La Gracieuse" 2de Ballade, title in EE

..

As in many other works by Chopin, EE arbitrarily changed the authentic title of the Ballade, calling it "La Gracieuse". It also omitted the dedication. Cf Nocturne Op. 27 No. 1.
The lack of title and dedication in A is presumably the result of the title page not being preserved. When writing the title page of GC, Chopin misspelled Schumann's name – "Schuhmann".

b. 25

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Dotted crotchet in A (→FE,GCGE)

Crotchet without dot in EE

..

In the 2nd half of bar, EE changed the voice leading of the R.H., presumably aiming to make it uniform with the following bar. The change resulted in shortening the d2 crotchet.

Crotchet g1 in A (→GC)

Dotted crotchet in FE & EE

Single-part notation in GE

..

In A (→GC), probably as a result of an oversight, the g1 crotchet was written without the extending dot. The dot was undoubtedly rightly – cf. bar 17 – added in FE and EE, while the one-part notation used in GE erroneously included the final e1 to the melody of the top voice.

b. 38-39

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

 in A (→FE,GCGE)

 in EE

..

It is unclear whether the fact of shortening the  mark in EE is a result of having misunderstood A or of the revision – cf. an analogous situation in bar 40.

b. 43-44

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Two slurs in A (→GCGE)

One slur in FE, EE

..

Despite the distinctly separate slurs in A, both FE and EE have a continuous slur here, possibly under the influence of the R.H. slur.
