The continuous six-bar slur of GE is one of the more glaring examples of the flippant approach of the Breitkopf engravers to the Chopinesque slurring – cf. the characterization of GE1 in the first movement of the Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

In the first part of both bars, one can see crossings-out in the R.H. part in A. In b. 3 the correction most probably concerned rhythm – it seems that Chopin started writing the first two notes as a dotted quaver and a semiquaver. The crossings-out in the 1st half of b. 4 could have concerned two rests (a crotchet rest and a quaver one). It would mean that the dotted d1 crotchet and the tie that reaches it were added later. Traces of such minor rhythmic changes can also be seen later on, see, e.g. b. 5 and 8. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A , Main-line changes |

The missing accent in FC (→GE) resulted from the distraction of the copyist, who overlooked the marks from the entire first line of A. In FE (→EE) this long accent was reproduced as a half-bar diminuendo hairpin, which more or less corresponds to the length of the mark in A, but does not include the fact that it should be placed under the a1 crotchet only. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in FE , Errors of FC |

The fingering of EE in b. 3 does not come from Chopin; however, as is the case with a few other places, it may comply with the composer's fingering. An identical fingering was given in an analogous figure in b. 7. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |
