b. 115

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

f-b-f1 in GC (→GE)

f-b-d1 in FE (→EE)

The version of GC (→GE) is almost certainly erroneous, although it may not have been a typical Terzverschreibung error, resulting from the confusing the eye pattern consisting of parallel lines, but rather an erroneous assimilation of various chords – cf., e.g., the 1st mov., bar 221.

b. 283-287

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

g in chord in GC (→GE)

b in chord in FE (→EE)

..

It is one of the places in which the performance and concert tradition, shaped to a significant extent on GE and established by the deeply rooted for many decades belief that GC is Chopin's autograph, most probably conveys an erroneous text. The absence of visible corrections in the sources based directly on [A] – GC and FE – means that one of the versions is most probably erroneous. The significant majority of arguments supports the correctness of the chord with b, which we thereby give in the main text.
