Slur in A

Slur in GE1 (→FEEE)

Slur in GE2

..

The slur of GE1 (→FEEE) is certainly inaccurate – it perfectly shows the disrespectful attitude of the engraver of GE1 to the Chopin slurring. The inaccuracy was partially corrected in GE2.

The eight-note figure filling the 3rd quaver of the bar was written in A by Chopin as a demisemiquaver septuplet. The patent mistake was partially corrected in GE2, by writing it as an octuplet of demisemiquavers. According to us, there are no reasons for such an atypical notation, hence we replace the septuplet with a regular group of hemidemisemiquavers. In FE (→EE) the second note was overlooked, which removed the incompatibility of the notation with the actual state.

FE (→EE)

..

On the 3rd beat of the bar GE1 contains up to three errors:

  • incorrect accidentals,
  • no mordent,
  • semiquavers instead of the dotted rhythm at the end of the figure.

Only the first two were corrected in GE2.
In FE (→EE) Chopin corrected the first while in the second part of the group he introduced a different version, which, being the latest, we adopt in the main text.

Slurs to grace notes in A & GE2

No signs in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The missing small slurs next to both grace notes in this bar is almost certainly an oversight of the engraver of GE1 (→FEEE). The signs were added in GE2.

Staccato dot in A & GE2

No mark in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The overlooked staccato dot in the majority of the editions is most probably a result of an oversight of the engraver of GE1. The sign in GE2 was added after A.
