b. 46

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt IV

10 bars in GC (→GE) & FE1 (→FE2)

8 bars in EE, FE3 (→FE4) & FESch

..

Between bars 46 and 47, GC (→GE) and FE1 (→FE2) include another two bars, identical to bars 9-10. It is probably a result of a mistake at the time of performing an abbreviated marking of bar 39 and following with numerals as repetitions of the respective bars of the beginning – Chopin marked 10 bars in this way instead of eight. The composer removed the superfluous bars in the proofreading of FE3 and in the base text to EE, he also deleted them in FESch and two (according to Mikuli) pupil's copies, belonging to Fryderyka Streicher and Marcelina Czartoryska.
