b. 162

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

c1 in FE (→GE,EE)

a suggested by the editors
..

The version of FE (→GE,EE) is most probably erroneous – in the entire section encompassing bars 156-157, the 3rd quaver in analogous figures in the L.H. is always an a. An additional argument supporting a is the presence of c1 on the 2nd semiquaver in the R.H., being the resolution of the last d1 from the previous bar.

In GE and EE3, the reviser added a cautionary  next to f1, unnecessary in this context.

b. 174-176

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

 

No slurs in FE (→EE1)

Slurs in EE2 (→EE3)

Our variant suggestion
..

The slurs encompassing two quavers in the L.H. at the transition between bars 174 and 175 and 175 and 176 are present only in GE, in which they could have been added by Chopin. EE2 (→EE3) also have slurs in these places, perhaps under the influence of GE; however, the slurs combine the bottom notes of the dyads and they were arbitrarily added for all double quavers in the L.H. in bars 174-177.
