b. 1

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

 in A (→FCGE)

 in FE (→EE)

..

The change of time signature in FE probably resulted from the engraver's inattention. In Chopin's pieces, it was common that engravers did not differentiate between  and , see the Prelude No. 14 in E Minor.

cresc. - - in A (→FCGE)

No indication in FE (→EE)

..

The missing cresc. - - - in FE (→EE) is most probably a mistake of the engraver. It was the entire indication that was overlooked in b. 10-14.

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.
