Verbal indications

b. 34-36

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

No indication in GC (→GE) & FE1 (→FE2→EE)

cresc. - - in FE3 (→FE4)
..

The cresc. - - indication is certainly a result of Chopin proofreading of FE3 (→FE4).

b. 57

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

in GC (→GE) & EE2

No marking in FE (→EE1)
..

It cannot be excluded that the  sign in GC was added by Chopin (together with the preceding ). In any case, we give this certainly authentic improvement of dynamics in the main text.

b. 69-72

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

Dashes in GC & GE2

No dashes in FE (→EE) & GE1
..

The premature ending of the dashes is certainly an error of GE1. According to us, also in the case of FE (→EE) the engraver's inaccuracy seems to be the most likely the reason of the absence of the dashes – they were led only to the end of the line of the text (cf., e.g., the Etude in C minor, Op. 25 No. 12, bars 33-39).

Same as  in bar 85, cresc. - - in bars 89-90 was added in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4), almost certainly by Chopin. The indication was repeated in EE2, yet without the dashes marking its range.
