You've probably seen, but if not the above is examples of Chopin's hand.
Not sure he would get work as a copyist...
A pianist who is a friend owns (I think) all of the available
facsimiles and every published edition that he can get of Chopin's
entire output.
A bit of a trainspotter but frequently fascinating.
He also just about believes that Angela Lear is the only pianist worth
hearing play Chopin.
I'm away but will give proper examples when back home, but the kind of
thing I mean is a minim on the first stem of three beamed quavers
rather than a dotted crotchet. Wrong but perfectly clear and
uncluttered.

No, the Alfred and some other editions make a point of stating where
they've copied Chopin literally, often against the practice of
earlier editions which have 'corrected' passages. Steve

But my point is that if you don't know the notation derives from
Chopin himself, you can't actually attribute it to Chopin. I'd be
interested to see some examples from his MSS, actually, but I don't
have any Chopin facsimiles.
