Issues : Dotted or even rhythm

b. 7-8

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

Dotted rhythm in GC (→GE)

Quavers in FE (→EE)

..

It is hard to state how the difference in the rhythm on the 1st beat of the bar occurred. The dotted rhythm in GC (→GE) seems to be a mistake of the copyist – the text is written uniformly, moreover, only bar 7 is written out with notes, as a result of which one, possible, mistake could have contributed to the change of the rhythm in both bars. On the other hand, Chopin's proofreading cannot be entirely excluded (a similar situation appears in Allegro de Concert, Op. 46, bar 17). In this situation, in the main text we give the version of FE (→EE), compatible with the unquestionable rhythm of analogous bars 11-12. Rhythmic variants of this type are to be found in numerous works by Chopin.

b. 14

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

Quavers in GC & FE (→EE)

Dotted rhythm in GE

..

The dotted rhythm in GE is most probably either a mistake or revision, perhaps resulting from the conviction that the notation of GC is inaccurate – in the same figure there are no dots extending the first octave of the bar. Similarly in bar 68.

b. 61-62

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

Dotted rhythm in GC (→GE)

Quavers in FE (→EE)

..

Same as in bars 7-8, it is not certain, which of the versions of the rhythm is authentic, and if both, which one is later. In the main text we give an analogous rhythm to bars 65-66.
