b. 145-146

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

..

GC (→GE1) overlooked the dots extending the minims in bar 145. GE1 also omitted the dots in bar 146. The remaining editions include the correct text.

b. 148

Slur up to 2nd beat in GC

Slur up to 3rd beat in GC (another interpretation→GE), FE & EE
..

The inaccurately vertically written notes result in GC not being entirely clear where the slur over the part of the R.H. is supposed to reach – the 2nd or the 3rd beat of the bar. In the main text we adopt the first possibility, in which the relation to the progression of the bottom voice is more significant. In the editions it was interpreted differently, which is also justified, particularly if we take into account the tenuto slur, added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE3 in bar 146.

b. 148-152

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

..

In the sources based directly on [A] – GC and FE1 (→FE2→FE3,EE1) – four naturals raising c1 to c1, in bars 148-149 and 151-152, are missing. These patent inaccuracies were corrected in GE, FE4 and EE2.

b. 152-153

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

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  before g. The sign was already added in EE, in which also a  before a1 in the next bar appears (the latter was probably supposed to concern g1).
