b. 179

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

In GE2, this bar was re-engraved, most probably due to the wear and tear of this fragment of the plate. At the same time, a "mirror" mistake was committed – the slur along with the digit 4, marking a quadruplet, was printed under the first four bottom voice crotchets (it was placed to the left of the g1 crotchet instead of to the right). Interestingly, the rhythmic mistake of GE2 was not corrected in the subsequent impressions of GE – GE3 (→GE4) added the correct slur but did not move the digit.
