funèbre in GC (→GE), FE1 (→FE2EE) & FE5

No designation in FE3 (→FE4)

..

The fact of removing the programme indication of Marche's character in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4) can be certainly ascribed to Chopin. The composer replaced it with a neutral tempo indication, Lento. The original indication funèbre was restored, for understandable reasons, in FE5 – the edition was prepared shortly after Chopin's funeral.

b. 1

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

No indication in GC (→GE) & FE1 (→FE2EE1)

Lento in FE3 (→FE4,FE5) & EE2

..

The indication Lento was added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4,FE5), as if instead the simultaneously removed funèbre. It was repeated – most probably on the basis of FE4 – also in EE2.

b. 20

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

..

The correct notation of the trill in the 1st half of this bar and all its repetitions – bars 28, 74 and 82 – appeared in the sources (not including pupil's copies) only several years after the publication of the Sonata, in EE2 and GE2. The mistake was committed by Chopin, who in [A] (→GCGE1GE2mar,→FE1FE2EE2) wrote the trill minim as a G (with a cautionary ). The error was noticed in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4,FE5), however, at the time of performing the correction, another mistake was committed, by moving the note mechanically together with the preceding it flat, which resulted in an F. The correct text was marked in all pupil's copies.
A similar mistake, consisting in writing the top second of the main note of the trill instead of the main one, from which the trill starts in this context, is to be find also in, e.g., the Bolero in A minor, Op. 19, bar 187.

In EE there is also no wavy line after the trill.

b. 28

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

..

Similarly as in bar 20, Chopin's mistake in [A] caused that 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 all pupil's copies.

B with slur in GC (→GE)

B in FE1 (→FE2EE) & FES

d in FE3 (→FE4,FE5)

..

It seems to be highly unlikely that the change introduced in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4,FE5) would correspond to Chopin's intentions. The present in the remaining sources B-A step of the enforced with octaves bass constitutes here the essence of the transition, introducing the middle section in the D major key. The importance of this step is emphasised by the slur in GC. It is likely that at the time of this correction a kind of misunderstanding arose (cf. the commentary to bar 20 and analog.). In two pupil's copies – one with B (FESch) and one with d (FED) – there are no corrections, yet in FES Chopin changed d to B. See also bar 84.
