Issues : Errors of A
b. 40-41

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete
..
In addition to the mark at the end of b. 39, A (→GE→FE,EE) includes the same mark also before the 1st chord in b. 41. A more detailed analysis of A reveals that in the middle of b. 40 there were initially marks, eventually erased and most probably replaced with the first mark. Therefore, it seems that Chopin initially wrote two pedals in b. 39-40, one from the 2nd beat of b. 39 to the middle of b. 40 and another encompassing the 2nd half of b. 41 (to the preserved mark) before shortening the first pedal and removing the second, inadvertently leaving the asterisk at the beginning of b. 41. EE added the allegedly overlooked mark yet without taking into account the change of chord in the middle of the bar; this pedalling cannot come from Chopin. category imprint: Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , Corrections in A , Errors resulting from corrections , Errors of A |

Due to the reasons discussed in b. 37-38 (the ties could have been overlooked by Chopin), we consider the version of AsI an acceptable variant. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors of A |

In A and all editions, the e1 note on the 3rd crotchet in the bar is wrongly a double dotted crotchet. In AsI the note has the correct rhythmic value. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Editorial revisions issues: Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |

In A and in all editions, over the 5-note 1st half of the figure on the 3rd beat of the bar, we can observe a seemingly wrong digit – 6. However, the error consists in a missing note – a2 between b2 and g2 – which is proven by:
The mistake remained unnoticed, both by Chopin (who was probably proofreading GE1 and certainly FE1) and by the revisers, who did not check the rhythmic correctness of this figure. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |
