b. 15

composition: Op. 28 No. 22, Prelude in G minor

Slur to 4th quaver in A

Whole-bar slur in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)

..

The slur in A, which initially reached the 5th quaver in the bar, was shortened by Chopin by one quaver. That correction was not taken into account both by Fontana and the engraver of FE – in FC and FE the slur encompasses the entire bar.

b. 28-38

composition: Op. 28 No. 22, Prelude in G minor

più animato - - in bars 30-38 in A & FE2 (→EE)

più animato in bars 28-31 in FC

più animato - - in bars 30-33 in FE1

 No indication in GE

..

It is unclear what made Fontana start writing più animato as early as in b. 28, hence 2 bars earlier than in A, or why the indication was not included in GE. Moreover, Fontana overlooked the dashes marking the range of the indication. In FE1 the dashes were led only to the end of b. 33, the last in the line, which was corrected in FE2 (→EE). Chopin precisely determined that the more animated fragment should end in b. 38 – in A the dash written in b. 39 was crossed out. Chopin also crossed out sempre before più animato.

b. 38

composition: Op. 28 No. 22, Prelude in G minor

Half-bar slur in A (→FCGE)

Slur from B1-B in FE

No slur in EE

..

The later starting point of the slur in FE resulted from an inaccurate interpretation of A. The missing slur in EE is an oversight, like in previous bars.
