b. 185

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

B​​​​​​​ in FE (→EE1→EE2)

B in GE & EE3

B with ​​​​​​​ suggested by the editors
..

In GE, a  raising B to B​​​​​​​ was added, most probably arbitrarily, before the bottom note of the 2nd crotchet. The reviser of EE3 also added that mark, probably under the influence of GE. However, we believe that the  is not authentic, since avoiding a strict repetition of a progression's segments is characteristic of Chopin, cf. e.g. a nearly identical harmonic sequence in the Rondo in F Major, Op. 5, bars 438-440. In order to avoid misunderstandings, we add a cautionary  in this place.

b. 186

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

We add a cautionary  before B​​​​​​​ in the main text. The accidental is present also in GE and EE3 (it must have been added due to the introduction of B on the last crotchet in the previous bar).
