F in GC (→GE) & FE2 (→EE,FE3FE4)

B in FE1

B on the 4th quaver is almost certainly a mistake of FE1.

Slurs in GC (contextual interpretation →GE)

No slurs in FE1

Slurs in FE2 (→EE,FE3FE4)

..

The oversight of the engraver of FE1 – he overlooked three slurs at the beginning of a new line, similarly as accents – was completed in the later FE, yet inaccurately (a too short 2nd slur in bar 26). In this case, the very careless slurs of GC did not mislead the engraver of GE.

Dots in GC (→GE)

No marks in FE1

Wedges in FE2 (→EE,FE3FE4)

..

[A] most probably included wedges, as Gutmann considered them to be staccato dots on a number of occasions (cf., e.g., the Etude in F major, Op. 25 No. 3, bars 49-52). Chopin wedges were actually often misinterpreted as dots also by the engravers, in turn, misinterpretation of dots as wedges was almost inexistent. Therefore, in the main text we give wedges, added in FE2 (→EE,FE3FE4) most probably on the basis of [A].

b. 44-48

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

..

In bars 44 and 48 FE1 has no naturals before the 2nd crotchet. A double mistake of the engraver is proved by the flats before the last notes in these bars.

Open octave in FE1

..

The absence of the middle notes of the chord at the beginning of the bar is certainly an oversight of the engraver of FE1.
