Trill over b1 in FE

Trill over b1 & a1 in GE

No trill in bar 188 in EE
..

The differences in the length of the wavy line of the trill are most probably accidental. There is no reason to doubt the authenticity of the version of FE. The version of EE must be erroneous – if the b1 in bar 188 was not supposed to be encompassed with the trill, there would be no reason to drag the wavy line over the naturals introducing a new key. According to us, a possible Chopinesque proofreading of GE is also unlikely – a single note, in this case an a1, is a natural way of ending a trill in such a context.

b. 225-227

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

 

No slur in GE & EE1 (→EE2)

Slur in EE3
 
..

In GE and EE, there is no little slur for the ending of the trill in bars 225 and 226-227. The missing slurs in GE could be justified by the fact that they were added only in the last proofreading of FE, whereas in EE it could have been an oversight of the engraver. In EE2, the reviser introduced slurs encompassing the main note and the ending of the trill, but only in bars 226-227. The slur in bar 225 was added in EE3.
