b. 97-100

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

No slurs in FE (→GE)

Slurs in EE
..

The missing four slurs in FE (→GE) must be an oversight, perhaps of Chopin himself. Therefore, in the main text we include the obvious addition introduced in EE.

b. 99-105

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

Long accents in FE (→GE1)

Vertical accents in EE

Short accents in GE2 (→GE3)
..

Contrary to b. 55-62, FE include long accents here, i.e. in b. 99-100 and 103-105. We consider it an inaccuracy and we give short accents in the main text. The remaining editions repeated here the accents used for the first time: long in GE1, vertical in EE and short in GE2 (→GE3).

See also b. 106, which we discuss separately due to the mistakes in GE and EE.

b. 100

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

f1 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

a1 in GE3
..

Just like in analogous b. 56, the change in GE3 is both arbitrary and unjustified.

b. 100-101

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

Slur to end of bar 100 in FE (→GE,EE)

Slur to bar 101 suggested by the editors
..

According to us, there is a strong likelihood that the ending of the slur was inaccurately reproduced in the sources. Therefore, in the main text we prolong the slur after the analogous place in b. 56-57, in which the slur also encompasses the fifth that melodically and harmonically closes the figuration of the previous bars.

b. 106

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

Long accent on d2 in FE

Long accent on e2 in GE1

No mark in EE1

Vertical accent on e2 in EE2

Short accent on e2 in GE2

Short accent on d2 in GE3
..

Both the missing accent in EE1 and its placement on the 3rd semiquaver of the bar in GE1 (→GE2) must be mistakes. The oversight of the accent in EE1 could have been repeated after FE, in which the mark was then added in the last phase of proofreading. The addition of the accent in EE2 in an erroneous place may mean that the reviser did not compare this bar with b. 62, but with GE1 (there is also a possibility that it is simply a mistake, e.g. of the engraver).
In the editions that feature an accent here, it was the same type of mark as previously that was used: see b. 99-105.
