b. 16

..

In [A] (→GC,FE) Chopin overlooked the bass clef. The sign was added in GE and EE. Similarly in all repetitions of this place.

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. 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.

Slur in GC, literal reading (→GE1)

Slur in FE (except FE5) & GE2mar (→GE2)

Slurs in EE

Our variant suggestion

..

On the basis of analysis of all four analogous places – see bars 14-16 – in the main text we give slurs based on the version of FE and EE (FE5 does not include slurs here, which is a patent error). We suggest the slur at the transition between bars 22-23, which could have been added by Chopin in the base text to EE, in a variant form, in brackets.

End of slur in GC, literal reading

End of slur in GC (contextual interpretation→GE) & FE1 (→FE2EE,FE3FE4)

..

In GC, same as in bar 16 (bar 24 is only marked as its repetition), the end of the slur can be interpreted twofold. In the main text we give a more likely, conventional interpretation of this detail, present in all editions (except for FE5, in which the slur in bars 23-24 was entirely overlooked).
