b. 17-18

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

No signs in GC (→GE) & FE

 & accent in EE

  suggested by the editors
..

The   signs are only in EE, added most probably by Chopin in the base text to this edition. The sign in bar 18, having a form of an accent under the chord on the 2nd beat of the bar, is almost certainly a result of misunderstanding of the entry of Chopin – in the original graphical layout the chords in the L.H. are divided between both staves, as a result of which the  written between the staves can be understood as referring to the L.H. only (similarly in bar 26). In the main text we suggest a much more likely interpretation of these signs, given in EE in the recapitulation (bars 72 and 80).

Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering

The double use of the 1st finger at the end of the bars was indicated in FED probably by Chopin.

b. 18

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

..

In GC (→GE1) and FE there is no  raising g2 to g2. The frequently encountered in Chopin's works oversight was corrected in EE and GE2mar (→GE2). Similarly in bars 26, 72 and 80.

b. 19-20

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

a1 & f1 in chords in GC (→GE1) & FE (→EE1)

a1 (+ cautionary ) & f1 in GE2mar (→GE2) & EE2

No a1 & f1 in chords in FES
..

The deletions of the top notes of the chords were written in FES most probably by Chopin or on the basis of his indications. It is most probably a facilitation for pianists with small hands, intended to be used at amateur performances. Due to this fact, we do not include this version in the main text. Similar entries are in bars 73-74 and 81-82.

In bar 19 in GE2mar (→GE2) and EE2 a cautionary  before the first a1 was added – cf. the note below.

b. 19

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

..

In the main text we add cautionary flats before g, a and a1. A similar supplement was introduced in GE2mar (→GE) and EE2 ( before g was added already in GE1).
