b. 130

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

A, FC3 (→FE→IE), GE1 (→GE2→GE3), EE

GE4
..

In GE4 the third quaver in LH is f1 instead of d1. The LH part notated this way resembles the corresponding b. 122, so it must have been edited accordingly, yet we cannot rule out b. 130 being the correct version.

Moreover, in all sources except EE there is redundant  in this place.

In GE the the second and third notes of b. 131 in RH are connected by an additional slur. The same applies to bars 131 and 132.

b. 132

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

Our proposed variant

A, FC3 (→FE→IE), EE, GE
..

None of the sources has an accent on the first beat of b. 132. However, since this bar and b. 84 are analogous we propose an accented variant.

In FC3 (→FE→IE), EE in the middle voice, instead of dotted c minim, there are two dotted crotchets. However, in FE the second crotchet is not dotted and in EE the crotchets are tied. In GE4 we see a combination of the two forst versions - dotted minim on the first beat and dotted crotchet on the second beat.

The variant with two crotchets, identical with corresponding bars 84 and 100 may be viewed as the Chopin's edit in [FC2] (→FC3) or copyist's error (bars 133-147 in A are marked in an abbreviated form as the repetition of bars 85-99, and smilarly bars 110-115 are not written out; therefore it may well have been the case that when copying Tarantella for the second time the copyist began rewriting the phrase from its beginning and did not notice a slight difference in the second voice).
