b. 6

composition: Op. 28 No. 13, Prelude in F♯ major

Minim & rest in A (→FEEE)

Dotted minim in FC (→GE)

..

The longer chord in the 2nd half of the bar must be Fontana's mistake.

Pedalling in A (→FEEE)

No markings in FC (→GE)

The missing pedalling markings are one of a few oversights of the copyist in this Prelude.

Slur in A

No slur in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)

..

The slur of A, although perfectly visible, was, nevertheless, overlooked both in FC (→GE) and FE (→EE).

b. 14-16

Continuous slur in A

Slurs separated in bars 15-16 in FC (→GE)

Slurs separated in bars 14-15 in FE (→EE)

..

In A the phrase mark in b. 15, which opens a new line, is ambiguous – it starts over the 1st chord, but its shape indicates that it should be a continuation. The ending of the phrase mark in b. 14, dragged far beyond the bar line, is an argument for a continuous phrase mark, which we give in the main text. Therefore, we consider the division of the phrase mark in FE (→EE) to be an erroneous interpretation of A. In turn, in FC Fontana reproduced the continuous phrase mark in b. 14-15 correctly, but he marked its continuation between b. 15 and 16 very inaccurately (b. 16 opens a new line in FC), hence the version of A cannot be guessed on this basis.

b. 33

composition: Op. 28 No. 13, Prelude in F♯ major

1 augmentation dot in A (→FEEE)

2 dots in FC

No dots in GE

..

In the main text we keep Chopin's original notation, in which it is only the e1 note that was provided with a dot, in spite of the fact that the entire chord was written on one stem. The copyist of FC added a dot also next to g1, which is a patent mistake and which was probably the reason both dots were removed in GE.
