b. 73-74

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

a1 tied in FE (→EE)

a1 repeated in GE
..

The missing tie of a1 is probably a mistake, although it cannot be ruled out that the tie was omitted to give meaning to the accent under the a1 minim in b. 74.

b. 73-86

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

c1 tied in FE (→GE) & EE2

c1 repeated in EE1
..

The missing ties of c1 in b. 73-74 and 85-86 in EE1, unless it is a double oversight, indicate that they were added in FE (→GE) in the last phase of proofreading. The ties were added in EE2.

b. 78-90

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

Notation in sources

Notation suggested by the editors

The sparing Chopinesque notation in b. 78 and 90 – no clear indication that the last crotchet still falls within the minim – may be misleading and it actually misled the engraver of FE, who laid out 3 beats of each of these bars as if they were 4/4 bars (see FE in the version 'transcription'). The erroneous layout was not repeated in GE and EE, yet in EE an extending dot next to the g minim was added, which means that the engraver counted four beats in this bar (the erroneous dot was removed in EE2). In the main text, in order to avoid doubts, we specify the mutual relation between the L.H. voices.

b. 96

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

..

One cannot see the quaver flag next to the final a1 on the copy of GE1a displayed in mUltimate Chopin. According to us, it is a result of this element having been poorly imprinted due to the wear and tear of the engraving plate, hence the flag may be visible on a different copy coming from this impression. Anyway, GE2 (→GE3) include the correct text.

b. 113

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

Small quaver in FE (→GE1) & GE2 (→GE3)

Small crotchet in EE & GE1a
..

The version of EE is almost certainly a mistake: oversight of the quaver flag. In GE1a flags were overlooked next to the last two notes of the bar, which is a side effect of the graphical retouches in this fragment of the page. The mistake was not repeated in GE2 (→GE3).
