b. 82-83

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

Accent on G in GC (→GE) & FE

Four accents in EE

Our variant suggestion
..

Same as in bars 28-29, three accents under F, D and B1 were probably added by Chopin in the base text to EE.

b. 82

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

..

Similarly as in bar 20, due to Chopin's mistake in [A], the correct notation of the trill appeared in the editions – despite the proofreading of FE3 – only in GE2 and EE2. The mistake was corrected in FESch and FES.

b. 84

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

R.H. d in GC (→GE)

L.H. d in FE1 (→FE2→EE,FE3→FE5)

B in FE4
..

The authenticity of the version with d is unquestionable – it was present in [A], which is proved by the compatible versions of GC and FE1. In turn, in the case of the version of FE4 (repeated then in EE2), although it seems to be a correction indicated by Chopin, a misunderstanding at the time of implementing the proofreading cannot be excluded (cf., e.g., a patent mistake in bar 182 of the Scherzo). Taking this into account, as well as the division of this chord between the hands, probably corrected by Chopin in GC, in the main text we give the version with d in the R.H.
