b. 24

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

..

In GC and FE (except for FE4) five necessary accidentals are missing – the naturals before d1, d2 and b and sharps before f2 and g2. This patent inaccuracy certainly stems from the notation of [A]. Three of them were added in EE1, four in FE4; only GE and EE2 include the correct notation.

..

The naturals before the 3rd octave of the bar are only in EE, FE4 and GE2. Chopin's patent inaccuracy was completed by revisers in probably all cases (certainly in GE2).

Two  signs in GC (→GE)

Two-bar  in FE (→EE)
..

One  sign in FE (→EE) is most probably an arbitrary decision of the engraver of FE. It is proved by bars 214-215, in which all sources have a one-bar-long compatible , which in the manuscripts, hence also in the base text to FE, was marked only as repetition of the discussed bars.

Different accents in GC (→GE)

Long accent in FE

Short accent in EE1

Two short accents in EE2
..

In the main text, we give the accents, long and short, on the basis of the clear notation of GC (→GE). The omission of the second one in FE is probably a result of the engraver's oversight. The EE1 version is a typical misrepresentation of a long accent, and GE was the probable inspiration for the EE2 revision.

Slur in GC (→GE) & EE2

No slur in FE (→EE1)
..

The absence of the first slur in FE (→EE1) is most probably an oversight of the engraver of FE. It was completed in EE2, probably on the basis of comparison with GE.
