b. 172

..

GC (→GE) and FE have a cautionary  before the 3rd crotchet in bar 172 (g). The superfluous sign was removed in EE.

b. 172

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

..

FE has no  restoring f on the last crotchet. The mistake went unnoticed in consecutive corrections of FE, as well as in pupils' copies. However, it cannot be ruled out that the sign added in EE was indicated by the composer.

b. 175-176

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

..

All sources include naturals before d2 in bar 175 and before A in bar 176. Together with the  in bar 172 they prove that, after having changed the key signature signs, Chopin's awareness of the key in which the music is written was not entirely formed yet.

b. 180

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

f in GC (→GE) & FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4)

a in FE1
..

The version of FE1 is most probably a mistake, corrected already in FE2.

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