It is difficult to evaluate the authenticity of the version of GE (→FE,EE), featuring only one R.H. slur in this bar. The longer slur of A, not included in the editions, does not seem to be a part of an irregular group marking, since it goes beyond it, to the c3-c4 octave. Therefore, it should be assumed that it concerns phrasing/articulation; when omitted, it impacts the articulation of the last five demisemiquavers, particularly if we take into account the change of dots to wedges, also performed in GE. On the other hand, upon seeing GE, Chopin could have considered one slur to be enough and the markings as a whole to be acceptable. In this situation, we regard both sets of markings (dots under a slur or wedges) as more or less equal, keeping in the main text the version of the principal source, i.e. A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE , Revisions in FESB |

The authentic chromatic notation of the descending part of the roulade takes into account the validity of the previously entered accidentals only to a minimal extent:
This notation was repeated without any changes by the majority of the editions. Only in FESB a restoring c4 was added (14th note). The choice between the orthography of the sources (complemented) and the one proposed by us is made possible in the note presenting the earlier version of the R.H. figuration recorded in #ApI. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Omissions to cancel alteration , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE , Revisions in FESB |
