b. 156

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

2 slurs in GC & GE2

1 slur in FE (→EE)

..

The shortcomings in the slurring of this bar are certainly errors.

Pedalling in GC (→GE), contextual interpretation

Pedalling in FE

Pedalling in EE

..

In both sources based on [A] – GC and FE – the pedalling is written certainly (GC) or probably (FE) inaccurately. What is more, in each of the sources the notation is different, which impedes finding out what Chopin's intention concerning this issue was (it is possible that the notation of [A] was inaccurate or unclear, e.g., as a result of corrections). In the main text we give the version of EE, which can be a result of the Chopinesque proofreading of the base text to this edition and which is analogous to the undoubtedly authentic pedalling of an identical phrase in bars 153-156.

b. 157-158

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

Slur from bar 158 in GC (→GE1)

2 slurs in FE (→EE)

3 slurs in GE2

..

The missing slurs in GC (→GE1) must be an oversight – the copyist wrote only the part of the slur starting in b. 158, at the beginning of a new line, overlooking the slurring of b. 157. GE2 limited itself to adding slurs in b. 157 (most probably by analogy with b. 153) – the already printed slur in b. 158 was left unchanged.

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

2 slurs in GC (literal reading →GE)

Slur in FE

Slur in GC (contextual interpretation) & in EE

..

Taking into account the versions of FE and GC, one may assume that the slur of GC at the end of b. 157 could have been added by Chopin. The aim of that change was undoubtedly a slur encompassing the entire three-quaver motif (as it is 4 bars earlier), which was guessed in EE (the correction could have even been introduced by Chopin in the Stichvorlage for EE). GE reproduced the notation of GC literally, i.e. as coinciding slurs.

 signs in GC

No signs in FE (→EE)

One  sign in GE

In the main text we include the  hairpin added probably by Chopin in GC. In GE the hairpin was moved between the staves and combined with the second  sign written in bar 160. Cf. bars 153-156.
