The long accent at the beginning of the bar was almost certainly written by Chopin in the base text to EE.

The slurring of the sources raises doubts here. In FE all slurs starting from bar 121 were overlooked. The slur of GC abruptly ends in bar 117, yet the shape of the ending suggests a continuation. Perhaps it made the engraver of GE combine this slur with the next one in bar 121, which cannot be rationally explained. The identical slur in EE is most probably a result of Chopin proofreading of the base text to this edition, however, also in this case one can assume an inaccuracy, as the part which was added in EE (bars 120-123) is linked with the previous slur, yet it does not reach the last note of the current phrase. In the main text we give the most credible elements of the notation of FE (the slur ending in bar 120) and GC (the new slur from bar 121). The continuous slur of EE may be considered to be an alternative solution, perhaps authentic. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors in GE , EE inaccuracies , Authentic corrections of EE |

The ending of the slur is written in the sources inaccurately (in FE there are no slurs starting from bar 121). In the main text we suggest a slur based on the most accurately written slurs of analogous phrases (e.g. FE in bars 85-90 and 93-98). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , EE inaccuracies , Inaccuracies in GC , Authentic corrections of EE |

The suggestion of the main text refers to the slurring of GC (→GE), appearing in analogous phrases with the highest frequency. The version of EE may be considered to be an equal variant. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Authentic corrections of EE |

The slightly inaccurate beginning of the slur of GC was certainly misinterpreted in GE as embracing entire bar 128. In FE the slurs were most probably overlooked, until bar 143. In the main text, we give the slur of EE, most probably added by Chopin in the base text to this edition. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in GC , Authentic corrections of EE |
2 note, hence in the main text we place it next to this note (it can be possible that Chopin wrote it under the minim, which fell between the voices of the R.H. and was misunderstood by the engraver).
