composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

below f¹ in FE (→GE)

below d¹ in EE

The earlier appearance of a mark in EE is most probably an inaccuracy of the engraver.

b. 39

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

No indication in FE (→EE)

Quintuplet in GE

Quintuplet suggested by the editors

Septuplet, our alternative suggestion

It is unclear how 7 R.H. semiquavers should be grouped, according to Chopin. According to us, the grouping indicated by Chopin in analogous b. 15 is the most likely; a corresponding digit was added in GE. An alternative solution is a septuplet, which is a default interpretation in the face of the absence of other indications.

b. 40

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

Accent in EE

The accent in EE is almost certainly a revision, introduced on the basis of a comparison with analogous b. 8 and 16. Therefore, the addition may be considered justified, yet in the main text we keep the authentic notation of FE (→GE), since the whole-bar leading to this long note naturally suggests that it should be accented.
