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.
