b. 8

composition: Op. 28 No. 16, Prelude in B♭ minor

..

In A (→FC,FE) there is no  before the 2nd semiquaver in the 2nd half of the bar (a2). The patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE.

b. 12-13

composition: Op. 28 No. 16, Prelude in B♭ minor

..

In A (→FC,FE) there is no accidental before the 4th semiquaver in the 3rd group, which would result in f2, which is impossible in this context. The oversight of a cancelled alteration, frequently encountered in Chopin's music, was corrected in GE and EE.

b. 12-14

4 slurs in A (→FE,FCGE) & EE2

1 slur in EE1

..

The missing slur running from the last L.H. quaver in b. 12 and two subsequent ones in b. 13-14 in EE is a patent mistake of the engraver of that edition.
In FC the beginning of the first of those slurs is missing, which – at least theoretically – results in an ambiguity, as far as the presence or range of that slur is concerned, since the next bar is marked in the manuscripts in an abridged manner as a repetition of b. 12. We assume – like GE, based on FC – that the slur at the beginning of b. 13 is to be taken into account, in its full range, which means that it should also encompass the last quaver in b. 12.

b. 19-21

composition: Op. 28 No. 16, Prelude in B♭ minor

Single slurs in A (→FE,FCGE)

Double slurs in EE

..

Starting with the last quaver in bar 19, EE added additional slurs linking the pairs of the L.H. octaves. Similar arbitrary additions are not uncommon in Chopin's works published by Wessel. Similarly in the next bars.

b. 22-23

Fingering in A (→FC)

No fingering in FE (→EE1)

Fingering in GE & EE2

..

The absence of fingering in FE (→EE) is probably a result of an oversight of the engraver of FE. The digit having been moved by one note in b. 22 is probably a mistake of the engraver of GE. That mistake was repeated in EE2.
