b. 373

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In GE1 (→FE1,EE1) the last semiquaver is a2. The patent mistake – cf. analogous bar 271 – was corrected in FE2, probably at Chopin's request, and in GE2 (→GE3,FESB) and EE2 (→EE3).

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

In the main text, we add cautionary flats before b2 in bar 373 and b1 in bar 375.

b. 374

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

No markings in sources

Pedalling suggested by the editors

..

In the main text we suggest pedal marks modelled on an authentic indication in analogous bar 372. This bar opens the last page in A, which is devoid of pedal marks, which makes us assume that Chopin forgot to write them there. However, it cannot be ruled out that he did not repeat the marks on purpose due to a lower register of the bass and the R.H. part.

b. 375

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Slur from 3rd semiquaver in AsI, literal reading

Slur from 2nd semiquaver in A & GE3

Slur from first semiquaver in AsI (contextual interpretation) & GE1 (→FE,EE,GE2FESB)

..

The slur starting earlier in GE1 (→FE,EE,GE2FESB) must be a mistake by the engraver of GE1, corrected in GE3, probably on the basis of a comparison with the L.H. slur and with bar 376.

No marks in AsI

Wedge above b1 in A

2 wedges in GE (→FE,EE)

..

We consider the added wedge in the L.H. part to be an apt specification of articulation, regardless of whether it was done at Chopin's request or not. In AsI staccato marks are absent both here and in the next bar, while the slur over these bars (see bar 376) proves that it was not caused solely by the working nature of the manuscript; back then, Chopin was most probably still pondering this kind of performance.
