In the sources bars 148-152 have varying slurs.

Since the manuscript A was partly burnt it is not possible to determine Chopin's slurring of the first two bars of the phrase. Due to the notation inaccuracies in FC3 and lack of the remaining copies we cannot tell for sure what the composer intended here. It seems almost certain however that the slur did not begin in the middle of bar 149, and given the characteristics of Tarantella's themes and inaccuracies of the slurs it may be assumed that most certainly the slur in b. 149 began on the quaver and not the beginning of the bar. Compare annotation in b. 149.

Moreover, sources FE(→IE) differ from the all the rest as here the slur extends as far as the chord on the first beat in b. 152.

In A the second chord in LH is notated without augmantation dots or a rest. In FC3 (→FEIE), EE, GE4 the chord is dotted. The dots may have been notated by Chopin [FC2] or they may have been added by Fontana as an 'obvious' edit. The latter seems more probable and so in the main text we present the version with a quaver rest since we find such notation in corresponding b. 152 in A. Sources GE1 (→GE2GE3) copy A with no rest in b. 148 and a rest in b. 152. Compare annotation in b. 4.

A - contextual interpretation

In A, in the second part of b. 148 (and 156, marked as repeat) in both the bottom voice in RH and in LH the crotchets are not dotted and there are no rests. We make additions to the notation based on the correctly written out corresponding b. 152 (and 160). Compare annotation in b. 4

No marking in FE

The version of FE – without  – must be considered inaccurate, although it is not possible to determine whether this was the initial version or whether the omission occurred at one of the stages of preparing FE.
