Conventional abbreviations were used in all manuscripts to write down the repeating figurations, mainly in the L.H. part. FCI features as many as 13 bars (b. 2-6, 14-16, 19-22 and 29) written down in such a way, which constitutes the largest share. It is very likely that it corresponds to the notation of the autograph of a previous version, which Fontana copied, since Chopin was very keen on using such abbreviations, particularly in unofficial manuscripts. This opinion is not challenged by the fact that Fontana used numerous abbreviations in FC (b. 11, 14-16, 19-21, 27 and 29) contrary to the notation of A (abbreviation only in b. 11): he could venture to do that having in mind the text and notation of the earlier autograph. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Abbreviated notation of A , Fontana's revisions |

Initially, Chopin marked the two-quaver motifs with an accent and a slur – as he did in b. 1 – also in b. 2-6, 11-16 and 18. All those markings were then crossed out – after the three accent/slur combinations in b. 1, Chopin left only one more at the end of b. 22, which, actually, gave it a special meaning. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A |

In A (→FC) b. 2 is marked with •/• signs as a repetition of b. 1. This raises doubts about whether and which performance indications are to be included in b. 2 (except for the tempo/character marking, of course) – FE (→EE) repeated pedalling markings and slurs, but omitted accents. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Abbreviated notation of A |

Fontana's mistake in the interpretation of the slurs of A could have been caused by a slur from the next page of A clearly showing through the paper – a fragment of a slur of the Prelude in C category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors of FC |
