b. 6

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

Long accent in A (→FE)

in GE

Short accent in EE

..

The long accent entered into A was quite accurately reproduced in FE; however, GE and EE considered it vague and reduced to a more typical form, i.e. a diminuendo hairpin in GE and a common short accent in EE.

b. 33-34

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

Slur to b. 34 in A, contextual interpretation

Slur in b. 33 in FE (→GE,EE)

..

Bar 33 ends the first side of A, and the R.H. slur written in it clearly suggests a continuation. However, on the new page, in bar 34, there is no completion of this slur. In none of the first editions does the slur extend to bar 34, however, in FE it extends beyond the last note of bar 33, which appears to be an insignificant inaccuracy, even if the engraver's intention was to convey the ambiguous notation of A. In the main text we provide a version with a slur leading to c2 in bar 34, which we consider a contextual interpretation of A.

b. 65-67

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

It is only GE that include the correct version of the R.H. rest in the 2nd half of b. 65. In A and EE, there is only a minim rest (without a dot), while in FE there is no rest at all. In the 1st half of b. 67, A (→FEEE) contain only a minim rest too, which suggests that it was considered to be filling a half of the bar (analogously to a semibreve rest).

No sign in GE1a

..

Both the  mark having been shortened by EE (it was led to the end of the line) and it having been overlooked by GE1a are most probably the engravers' mistakes.
