b. 77

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

..

In the main text, we add a cautionary  before a in L.H.

b. 78

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

Minim b1 in FE1

Minim c2 in GC (→GE)

Crotchet a1-c2 in FE2 (→EE1,FE3→FE4)

Minim a1-c2 in EE2
..

Among the four versions of the middle notes of the chord at the beginning of the 2nd half of the bar present in the sources, the first (FE1) is certainly erroneous, whereas the last (EE2) – arbitrary. In turn, the remaining two are undoubtedly authentic and – according to us – equal. The a1-c2 crotchet is probably earlier, it was probably in [A] and this is on this basis that is was introduced to FE2 instead of the erroneous b1 minim. The original third was initially also in GC, where, however, Chopin changed it to a c2 minim. Hence, we adopt the latter to the main text.

b. 79

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

..

In [A] (→GC,FE→EE1) in the 2nd half of the bar there were no accidentals, which gives g in the L.H. and g1(2) in the R.H. Chopin's mistake was corrected in GE (partially – only a  before g2 in the 4th crotchet) and in EE2.

b. 80

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

e1 in GC (→GE) & FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4)

d1 in FE1
..

The d1 note in the chord at the beginning of the bar is certainly a mistake of the engraver of FE1, corrected in the subsequent FE.
