Slur in EE and FE

Contextual interpretation of the slur in GC (→GE)

..

The slur of GC is evidently imprecise here – its right end reaches the end of bar 56 (in GE it ends above the 1st crotchet). This suggests that the left slur end may also be shifted to the right. For our main text we choose the concordant and unquestionable version of EE and FE.

Dots in GC (→GE)

Wedges in FE & EE

..

Same as in bars 49-52, the simplest explanation of the difference in the staccato signs between GC (→GE) and FE and EE is Gutmann's misunderstanding of the notation of [A]. Similarly in bars 60-64.

In GC and FE1 there is no  restoring d2 (it is, however, included in the L.H.). This mistake, repeated after [A], was corrected in GE, FE2 and all the remaining sources.

Different slurs in GC

Shorter slurs in FE & EE

Longer slurs in GE

..

The slur of GC in bar 55 begins just after the 1st crotchet, hence beginning the slur in GE from this crotchet is not surprising. However, in bar 56 the slur of GC, corrected by Chopin, starts undoubtedly from the 2nd quaver, which was, however, ignored in GE. Both FE and EE show that in both bars the slur should certainly begin from the 2nd crotchet.

In the main text we give a  sign, added in the base text to EE probably by Chopin. See also bars 243-244.
