b. 163-164

Slur up to bar 164 in FE (→GE

No slur in EE1

Slur only in bar 163 in EE3

..

Leading the L.H. slur until the beginning of bar 164 is much less justified than in the case of the R.H. slur due to the over two-octave f1-E leap. Therefore, it is quite likely that it is the slur added in EE3 that corresponds to Chopin's intention – the engraver of FE could have been under the influence of the R.H. slur while interpreting the slur of [A], perhaps written with a flourish.

Long accent in FE (→GE)

Short accent in EE3

No mark in EE1 (→EE2)

..

The missing accent was certainly overlooked by the engraver of EE1 (→EE2). An accent – a short one – was added in EE3.

b. 227

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

In FE, there are no accidentals whatsoever in this bar. It is undoubtedly an error commited possibly by Chopin in [A] – cf. Etude in F minor, op. 25 no. 2, bar 56. Accidentals were added in both GE and EE:

  • the reviser of EE1 (→EE2) took the FE version at face value, and added a cautionary  before the lower note of the third on the 2nd quaver, thus confirming a1 there. This mistaken addition was corrected in EE3 after the analogous bar 59.
  • in GE the correct text was introduced immediately.

b. 230

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

The engravers of GE and EE overlooked the ending of the slur in the L.H. while transitioning to a new great stave (bar 230 opens a new line). It belongs to the most frequent mistakes.

Hairpin in FE (→GE) & EE3

No mark in EE1 (→EE2)

..

The missing ​​​​​​​ hairpin in EE1 (→EE2) is a mistake of the engraver. The mark was added only just by the reviser of EE3.
