b. 139

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

No slur in FE (→GE,EE)

Slur suggested by the editors

..

The missing slur is probably an inaccuracy of notation – cf. bars 115, 123, 267 and 275. On the other hand, the long accent over the crotchet suggests that the slur is not necessary; it is also absent in strictly analogous bar 291. Due to this reason, in the main text we give the slur in brackets.

b. 141

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

Just like in a few similar places (bar 117, 269 and 293), we preserve the overlapping slurs in the main text.

Long accent in FE (→EE)

In GE, the accent was arbitrarily changed to a short one.

b. 143

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

The cut of the bars after the fermata is present in FE (→GE,EE) and was most probably present already in [A]. We reproduce it in the main text, since it was certainly intended by Chopin and has a musical meaning – it emphasises the fermata and the following change of character (a tempo, , dolce). There is a similar situation in bar 290.

b. 148-149

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Dashes in bar 148 in FE (→EE)

No dashes in GE

Dashes up to bar 150 suggested by the editors

..

According to us, the range of stretto was inaccurately conveyed by the engraver of FE (→EE) – it should last until ritenuto. An oversight of dashes is even more likely, since bar 149 opens a new line of text. Therefore, in the main text we suggest adding dashes accordingly. In GE, there are no dashes at all, which is a frequent inaccuracy of that edition. However, in this case, if our interpretation of Chopin's intention is correct, leaving stretto alone seems to be less misleading than marking its range inaccurately.
