Issues : Inaccuracies in GC

b. 149-150

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

..

Similarly as in the previous bars, GC and FE1 (→FE2FE3) lack seven accidentals before the notes which were previously already correctly written in another octave. These patent inaccuracies do not impede the interpretation and they were completed in the subsequent sources to a varied extent (including FED, in which a  before the top note of the 3rd crotchet in bar 150 was added). It is only EE2 that has the fully correct text.

b. 151-152

..

In the 2nd half of each of these bars, GC and FE1 (→FE2FE3) have no naturals. The necessary signs – before a1 and a – were added in GE, FE4 and EE (in EE1 only in bar 152).

Slur from e1 in GC

No slur in FE (→EE1)

Slur from g1 in GE

Slur from g in EE2

..

It is unclear which slur Chopin meant, since the absence of a slur in FE (→EE1) does not allow us to confront the version of GC with another source modelled after [A]. According to us, the slur of GC may be inaccurate, hence we adopt the more natural version of GE. The slur of EE2, probably modelled after GE, was, however, led from g, which may influence its meaning to a certain extent.

There is no accidental before the top note of the 2nd quaver in GC and FE1 (→FE2FE3). The patent inaccuracy was corrected in the remaining sources.

Pedalling in GC (→GE), contextual interpretation

Pedalling in FE

Pedalling in EE

..

In both sources based on [A] – GC and FE – the pedalling is written certainly (GC) or probably (FE) inaccurately. What is more, in each of the sources the notation is different, which impedes finding out what Chopin's intention concerning this issue was (it is possible that the notation of [A] was inaccurate or unclear, e.g., as a result of corrections). In the main text we give the version of EE, which can be a result of the Chopinesque proofreading of the base text to this edition and which is analogous to the undoubtedly authentic pedalling of an identical phrase in bars 153-156.
