Verbal indications

b. 56-57

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

One  in GC (→GE) & FE

Four  in EE
..

Chopin most probably added three  signs, while preparing the base text to EE. Similarly in bars 244-245.

b. 117

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

dimin.  in GC (→GE)

No markings in FE1 & GE1

dimin. in bar 118 in FE2 (→FE3→FE4)

dim. in bar 118 in EE
..

In the main text, we give dimin. in bar 117 (together with  in bars 118-120), in accordance with GC (and GE2), including more accurate dynamic indications (it is not entirely clear, whether the employed in GC abbreviation is dimin. or dim.; Chopin would use both). Placing the indication in FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4) only in the next bar may be inaccurate. The absence of the indication in FE1 and GE1 is certainly a mistake.
