b. 131

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

f in GE, possible interpretation of GC & FE1 (→FE2FE3,EE1)

e in FE4 & EE2

..

GC and the previous impressions of FE (→EE) include the erroneous as the top bottom note in the chord on the 2nd crotchet. The mistake was revised in GE, adding a  before this note, which has to be considered to be justified. However, the comparison with analogous bar 171, and, above all, the change introduced – probably by Chopin – in FE4 convinces that the mistake concerned the pitch and not the missing . The version with e was introduced also in EE2, most probably on the basis of FE4. According to us, both here and in the previous bar, we are dealing with Chopin's mistakes in [A].

b. 132-137

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

Slur from 2nd beat in GC (→GE)

No slur in FE

R.H. slur in EE1

Two slurs in EE2

Slur from 1st beat suggested by the editors

..

In this phrase the slur in GC (→GE) begins on the 2nd beat of bar 132, which we consider to be a possible inaccuracy, as in other similar situations, the slurs in GC generally start from the beginning of the bar. Therefore, in the main text we suggest a slur running from the beginning of the bar. The slur of EE1, in spite of having been printed most probably on the basis of Chopin addition in the base text, is certainly incomplete and most probably inaccurate (see the note to bar 137), whereas its placement over the top stave is probably related to the applied in this edition graphical layout, in which, from the 2nd beat in bar 134, the part of the R.H. is written entirely on the top stave (cf. bars 96-100).

b. 137

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

New slur in GC (→GE)

No slur in FE

Slur continued in EE

..

The continuous slur in EE is probably a result of a misunderstanding, related to the adjustment of the slurs to the changed graphical layout – cf. the note on slurs in bars 132-137. In the main text, we give hence the beginning of the slur after GC (→GE). See also bars 140-141.

b. 139-141

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

No marks in GC (→GE)

3 staccato dots in FE

5 dots in EE

..

Three staccato dots in bars 139 and 141 are present only in FE (→EE). Their absence in GC (→GE) may be explained with an inaccuracy of the copyist or their addition in [A] after the copy had been already prepared. In EE the three dots were completed with another two in bar 141, which, according to us, is an arbitrary decision of the engraver, related to the shift of the 1st chord in the R.H. to the top stave.

b. 140

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

No c1 in GC & FE (→EE1)

c1 in GE & EE2

..

The absence of the c1 note is most probably a result of the unclear notation of [A]. It is indicated by the comparison with analogous bars 138, 178 and 180. The note was added – most probably on the basis of such a comparison – in GE, which was then repeated in EE2
