b. 10-11

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

No tie in GC (→GE) & FE (→EE)

Tie suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we give a tie sustaining b2 on the basis of the most probably Chopin proofreading of FE4 in analogous bars 198-199. The situations, in which Chopin overlooks one of a few analogous places at the time of implementing corrections is not unusual – cf., e.g., the Etude in G major, Op. 10 No. 5, bar 4, Etude in B minor, Op. 25 No. 10, bar 87 or Waltz in A major, Op. 42, bar 81. An additional argument is the sustention of a2 in a musically and pianistically similar situation in bars 30-31.

b. 12

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

No tie in GC (→GE)

Tie to d1 in FE (→EE)
..

The missing tie sustaining d1 in GC (→GE) is almost certainly a result of an oversight of the engraver; similarly in bar 200. See also bar 13.

b. 13

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

Tie to d in GC (→GE) & FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4)

No tie in FE1
..

The missing tie sustaining d in FE1 is undoubtedly a mistake of the engraver, corrected already in FE2. In the respective bar of the recapitulation (bar 201), FE1 includes this tie.

The absence of the tie sustaining a2 is probably an oversight of the copyist.
