b. 118

No  in GC (→GE) & FE (→EE)

[] suggested by the editors
..

After the  sign in bar 117, the sources do not include a  asterisk. In the main text we suggest adding the sign after similar bar 111.

b. 120

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

B in GC & FE (→EE1)

B in GE & EE2
..

GC and FE (→EE1) do not include an accidental before the bass note, which makes it to be interpreted as a B. The version, present certainly also in [A], is given by us in the main text, with a cautionary . The version of GE, in spite of being most probably a result of a routine editorial revision (until this place the development is maintained in sharp keys and B is present also in the next bar), may be, however, considered an alternative authentic version in this case – according to Mikuli, Chopin added a corresponding  in a copy of his pupil, Friederike Müller-Streicher (information from the Mikuli edition of Sonatas, Kistner, Leipzig 1879).
