b. 7

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor
..
The version of GE may be either a revision of this edition (cf. the comment on b. 45-47) or a variation introduced by Chopin (e.g. along with Lento – cf. the comment on b. 1). The vast majority of arguments are for the former, i.e. for this chord being arbitrarily revised in GE:
Therefore, in the main text we give e1, considering d1 a variant of uncertain authenticity. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |

b. 18-20
|
composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor
..
In A, a new page begins from b. 17, which could have been the reason Chopin overlooked the accents in b. 18 and 20. Due to the above, in the main text we suggest adding respective marks after b. 8, 10 and analog. Short accents modelled on the preceding bars were also added in EE; by contrast, in GE it was only the accent in b. 18 that was added. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

b. 26-27

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor
..
The tie sustaining in A the d2 minim to the next bar was misinterpreted in FE and in the majority of the editions based thereon as a beginning of the slur over b. 27-28. The mistake could have resulted from the tie having been written down unclearly, i.e. its middle part is most probably very poorly legible (on the available photograph, the fragment beginning the second, descending part of the tie is completely illegible). The tie was added by GE4, perhaps on the basis of a rhythmic analogy with the beginning of b. 29. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , GE revisions |

b. 33

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor
..
In A, the only cautionary accidental is a before c at the beginning of the bar. FE (→GE,EE) added a before C and a before e1, while EE and GE3 (→GE4) also a before the g2 semiquaver. In the main text we include all the above accidentals. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals , Authentic corrections of FE , FE revisions |

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor
..
In A (→FE), there is no before the last semiquaver (e3) in the 1st half of the bar; the restoring e2 on the 11th small quaver in the 2nd half is missing too. The former was added both by GE and EE; by contrast, none of the editions noticed the absence of the latter. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , Omissions to cancel alteration , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |
