Mark at the beginning of b. 163 in GC & GE2

No mark in GE1

Mark at the end of b. 162 in FE (→EE)

It is difficult to say which of the sources based directly on [A] – FE and GC – reproduced Chopin's notation more accurately. Therefore, we give the version of the principal source, i.e. FE (→EE) – see Rules of creation of the main text. The missing mark in GE1 must be an oversight of the engraver.

b. 165-166

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

 in bars 165-166 in GC & GE2

No sign in FE (→EE1)

 in bar 166 in GE1 & GE2
..

In the main text we include the two-bar  sign written in GC and repeated in GE2. GE1 printed only a half of the sign on a new page, which, in turn, was repeated in EE2. No sign in FE (→EE1) is probably a result of the engraver's inaccuracy. Cf. bar 161.
