The absence of the slurs in FE, unless it is a simple oversight, suggests that the slurs in GC could have been added by Chopin. They were reproduced inaccurately both in GE1 and in GE2. Most probably, the slurs added in EE are also authentic, following the line of the changes of notation, introduced gradually by Chopin here and in the analogous fragment of the exposition (see bars 93-97). We suggest the latter, as the latest and most accurate, in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of EE |

The accent written by Chopin in FEG does not differ in the size from the next ones, yet in GE1 it was interpreted as short. Perhaps the engraver paid attention to a slightly different shape of the sign; he could have also assumed that an accent would be more suitable over the crotchet, while over the pair of quavers – a short diminuendo (this is how the engravers would treat Chopin long accents). FE and EE also have short accents, however, it does not give certainty – as in the case of GE1 – as to Chopin's intention. Without access to a photography of FEG with higher revolution, not to mention finding the base texts to FE and EE, this issue seems to be impossible to resolve. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE , Authentic corrections of EE |

FE0 has a whole rest in the L.H. In FEG (→GE) Chopin added two quavers and relevant rests. He must have introduced a similar change also in the base texts to FE and EE. According to us, the quavers – same as the previous ones – were supposed to be embraced with a slur, in spite of the fact that it is absent in FE and in FEG (if we are to believe the photocopy of this source, which is not of the highest quality). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE , Authentic corrections of EE |
