b. 165

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In AsI there are no accidentals before the last two demisemiquavers in the bar. Chopin's patent oversight was only partially corrected in A, in which naturals restoring c1 and c2 were added. The second pair of the overlooked accidentals was added only in FE.

b. 166-167

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In AsI both chords on the 2nd and 3rd quavers in b. 166 are written down in the treble clef, and in both Chopin wrote the bottom note under a ledger line. The mistake was committed in both versions of this bar as well as on the 2nd quaver in b. 167 in 1. volta. At the same time, in the notation of the first of the five discussed chords (2nd quaver in b. 166, 1. volta), there are only two ledger lines, hence the lowest note is g, whereas in the four remaining ones – three ledger lines, which results in e being the lowest note. In the remaining sources, the notation is correct (it concerns 2. volta only, since these sources do not contain a repetition of the second part of this variation).

Trill without ending in AsI & A (→GEFE,EE,FESB)

Our variant suggestion

..

As in bar 127, in the main text we propose in variant form (in brackets) the ending of the trill that appears in the 1st violin part in GEork (→FEork).

No slur in sources

Slur suggested by the editors

..

We suggest the slur in the main text on the basis of the authentic slur in an analogous motif in b. 170 and the respective slurs in the adjacent variations, b. 128 and 200.

No octaves in AsI

Octaves in A (→GEFE,EE,FESB)

..

As in b. 128-131, the fact that the bass line was not doubled an octave lower in AsI may be just a simplified version of notation. In A the doubled line was marked with con 8va, which was elaborated in the editions.
