e in GC (→GE) & FE1 (→FE2,EE1)

e in FE3 (→FE4) & EE2
..

The change of e to e is undoubtedly a result of Chopin proofreading of FE3 (→FE4).

b. 228-229

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

No accidentals in GC & FE1 (→FE2→EE1)

Naturals in GE, FE3 (→FE4) & EE2
..

The absence of the naturals raising g(1) to g(1) is almost certainly a mistake of Chopin who partially corrected his error in the proofreading of FE3 by adding a  on the 2nd crotchet in bar 228. In FE4 the second necessary  was added, yet both signs are only in GE and EE2.

..

Similarly as in bar 52, the bottom note of the 1st chord in FE1 (→FE2) is an erroneous a1. The patent mistake was corrected in FE3 (→FE4), EE and GE, which in the case of FE and EE could have been performed by Chopin.

b. 242

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

No sharps in GC (→GE) & FE1 (→FE2→EE1)

Sharps in FE3 (→FE4) & EE2
..

Same as in bar 54, we include in the main text the sharps raising the f1-f2 grace note to f1-f2, added – most probably by Chopin – in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4). The change was introduced also in EE2.

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

Chord with c2 in GC & FE1 (→FE2→EE1)

Chord with c2 in GE, FE3 (→FE4) & EE2
..

The chord with c2 is most probably a result of an oversight of the composer, which is confirmed by the  added – probably by Chopin – in FE3 (→FE4).
