b. 48-49

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Beams in FE (→GE,EE)

Beams suggested by the editors

..

In the main text, we adjust the semiquaver beam of the figure at the transition between bars 48-49 to the remaining, analogous figures. It is likely that breaking it into two beams was a simplifying solution of the engraver of FE, applied to avoid beams passing from one great stave to another. Chopin would often use beams going beyond a bar, e.g. in the L.H. part in bars 52-54 and analog.

b. 49

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

f3 in FE (→GE,EE)

g3 in FEJ

..

The f3 note, present in FE (→GE,EE) as the 6th semiquaver of the bar, interferes with the regularity of the figuration and is most probably erroneous. It is confirmed by a most probably Chopinesque correction in FEJ.

b. 52

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

No indications in FE (→GE,EE1)

dolce in EE2 (→EE3)

..

The indications added in EE2 (→EE3) are totally arbitrary in this place. The reviser could have assumed that the beginning of the actual Rondo should be provided with a specific dynamic marking, particularly since such indications appear only just in bar 90 (dolce e leggiero) and 100 (). While adding them, he used authentic indications, present in bars 39 and 143. There is a similar situation in bar 360.

b. 52-62

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

No slurs in FE (→GE,EE1)

Slur in EE2 (→EE3)

..

The slurs under the bass B-E motifs in bars 52-54, 56-57 and 60-62 are an arbitrary addition of EE2 (→EE3). Authentic slurs in such a context are present in analogous bars 360-370; therefore, it is likely that the quavers in the discussed bars should also be performed in such a way. However, a different performance cannot be ruled out, e.g. staccato – cf. similar motifs in bars 68-69 and 72-73. In the Polonaise in A Major, Op. 53, similar motifs constitute the framework of the main theme's accompaniment (bars 17-19 and analog.) and are provided alternately with slurs or dots.
