b. 48-49

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major
..
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. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , EE inaccuracies |

..
In GE, all wedges in bars 52-53 and 56-60 were reproduced as staccato dots (one mark was overlooked – see bar 57). Such an arbitrary decision (inaccuracy?) frequently appears in first editions of Chopin's pieces – cf. e.g. the Sonata in B Minor, Op. 35, 2nd mov., bars 2-4. In the main text, we preserve the undoubtedly authentic notation of FE (→EE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , Wedges |

Small differences concerning the range of the mark between the sources are insignificant in this context; it also applies to the differences between analogous bars. In the main text, we suggest a hairpin modelled after the first appearance of this phrase (bars 53-54) – it is likely that Chopin wrote the mark most carefully for the first time. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , EE inaccuracies |

b. 73

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major
..
Like in the 1st half of the bar, in GE the slur was associated with the top voice only. The interpretation, however, is probably wrong – in FE, three subsequent slurs in bars 72-73 begin from the 2nd note of the respective beat, which can hardly be considered an accident. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

In GE, the slur encompasses the semiquavers of the top voice only. The beginning of the next slur in this bar was distorted in a similar way – see the next note. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |
