Our alternative suggestion

..

Three phrase marks were probably added by Chopin in the base text to EE and, being the expression of the composer's latest intention, we give them in the main text. Our alternative suggestion includes a possibility of an inaccurate interpretation of signs by the engraver. Similarly in bars 238-242.

b. 61

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

No dot in GC (→GE) & FE

Staccato dot in EE

..

The staccato dot over the 1st octave was most probably added by Chopin in the base text to EE. According to us, the aim of its addition could have been a sui generis correction of a too early started slur – see the note above. Therefore, choosing the suggested by us alternative version of the slur, one does not have to take this dot into consideration.
