b. 251-255

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

We keep the notation of A (→FE), where the accidentals in b. 251 for the R.H. part are then not repeated before the same L.H. notes. An analogous situation is to be found in b. 255. In A one can even see that Chopin deleted all accidentals that had been written in those places – four in b. 251 and the   to e in b. 255. GE and EE added the accidentals, hence the L.H. has as many accidentals as the right one.

b. 256-257

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

d1 in chords in A (→FEGE) & EE3

No d1 in EE1 (→EE2)

..

The missing d1 notes in the chords must be a mistake by the engraver of EE1 (→EE2). It was corrected only just by EE3.

b. 256

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

A (→FE) did not restore the bass clef before the chords. Chopin's mistake was corrected both by GE and EE.

Broken octaves in A

Regular octaves in FE (→GE,EE)

..

In the main text we reproduce the notation of A, in which a diagonally crossed octave means a very fast arpeggio (faster than the one written down with the use of a grace note). The direction in which an octave should be broken results from the notation of the preceding octaves; moreover, it is indicated by the direction of the diagonal line crossing the stem of an octave. The absence of respective lines in the editions probably resulted from the engraver of FE not having understood this notation.

b. 259-261

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

In the case of five L.H. octaves, Chopin put an accidental only to one of the notes in A. The following accidentals are missing:  (E) and  (f) in b. 259;  (F) in b. 260;  (C) and  (B1) in b. 261. All the missing accidentals were added by FE (→GE,EE); nevertheless, GE1a once again overlooked the  (E) in b. 259.
