As far as the time intervals between subsequent R.H. notes are concerned, the rhythm of the first phrase (b. 3-6 and 12-15) is no different in FCI from the one Chopin eventually sent to be published. The crossings-out visible in A in b. 3 confirm that the version without rests, preserved in FCI, is earlier. Thanks to the rests, the theme is more precisely articulated and more volatile at the same time. It is also reflected in the slurring – see b. 12. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A , Main-line changes |

It is unclear whether the accent in A was supposed to be long or short, according to Chopin. Both FC (→GE) and FE (→EE) interpreted it as short; a short accent is also in FCI (as well as in b. 12). In the main text we also favour a short accent – both the acceleration of the tempo of the Prelude and the shortening of the rhythmic value of this note are an argument for a short, purely dynamic accent. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Placement of markings |

The longer slur of FC (→GE) resulted from a mistake of the copyist, most probably confused by the contour of a fragment of the slur written on the back of this page (over b. 22) blending into the slur of A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Errors of FC |
