Verbal indications

b. 402-403

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Dashes in FE (→EE)

No marks in GE
..

Omission of the dashes marking the range of crescendo in GE seems to be a routine revision, since in that particular case the crescendo's range does not raise substantial doubts, and omitting dashes is a frequent phenomenon in this source.

b. 408

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

GE contains an erroneous "leggiere" instead of "leggiero," whereas the indication in EE is also erroneous – "leggio."

The lack of indication is presumably an oversight of the engraver of GE.

cresc. - - in FE

cre - scen - do in EE

No dashes in GE
..

The dashes marking the range of crescendo were omitted in GE, as in many other places in the Rondo. In EE, the indication – within the marked range – was divided into syllables what is a revision, typical of the English publisher.

b. 420-423

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

No dashes in FE (→GE,EE)

Dashes up to bar 423 suggested by the editors
..

Omitting dashes marking the range of a dynamic (or agogic) change is a frequent inaccuracy in first editions of Chopin's works, particularly when transitioning to a new line, as in FE (→GE,EE) here. In the main text, we suggest conducing dashes to the peak of the raising sequence, i.e.to the end of bar 423.
