b. 28

composition: Op. 28 No. 21, Prelude in B♭ major

..

In the notation of A (→FC), reproduced by us in the main text, in which g1 on the 5th quaver is on the top stave, this note does not require an accidental. In the editions it was moved to the bottom stave, yet it was only GE and EE that added the necessary flat.

b. 31

composition: Op. 28 No. 21, Prelude in B♭ major

..

In A (→FE,FCGE1) there is no  lowering a2 to a2. The accidental was added in EE and GE2. In addition, EE1 overlooked the  lowering g2 to g2, which was corrected in EE2.

b. 33-36

composition: Op. 28 No. 21, Prelude in B♭ major

5 slurs in A, literal reading

5 slurs in A, contextual interpretation

5 slurs in FC

3 slurs in FE (→EE)

2 slurs in GE

..

In the main text we give a contextual interpretation of the slurring of A – we consider the bottom slur in b. 33, which closes the line, to be inaccurate, since it is too short (like in a few other places, see b. 1). The clearly extended slurs in subsequent analogous bars undoubtedly reveal Chopin's intention. However, this notation was not reproduced correctly in any of the sources, which may be explained by revision (in all cases), an erroneous interpretation (FC) or carelessness (GE).

b. 33-35

composition: Op. 28 No. 21, Prelude in B♭ major

No fingering in A (→FE,FCGE)

Fingering in EE

..

There is nothing to suggest the authenticity of the fingering added in EE in bars 33 and 35.
