..

As before (b. 105 and 109 and 108), in the main text we add a cautionary  to e2 in b. 120 and a  to f3 in b. 121. Both accidentals were added in GE3 and the former – also in EE3.

Notation in AsI & A (→GE→EE,FESB)

Notation in FE
..

The notation of FE, with the demisemiquaver going beyond the 3rd note of the semiquaver triplet (in b. 123, 124 and 126), is contrary to the Chopinesque understanding of this kind of combination of a dotted rhythm with a triplet – see the note to b. 45-46.

b. 123-135

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

No performance markings in Var. I in AsI – see the note at the beginning thereof (b. 104-109).

b. 125-127

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In AsI the following quavers: g3 in b. 125, c4 and e4 in b. 126 and b2, e2 and d2 in the 1st volta of b. 127 are written as crotchets – they lack quaver flags. The first two of those mistakes (next to g3 and c4) were repeated in A. The editions contain the right text.
