In the main text, we add a slur encompassing the characteristic, two-note motif played by violins I. The slur is present in analogous bar 422 as well as in all similar bars – bars 170, 186, 414 and 430. The slur was added also in GE3. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |

Bars 176-181 contain a three-part descending progression. The repetitions of the scheme are generally accurate, except for three- and two-note irregularities at the beginning and end of this section. However, in order to maintain an absolute precision, the 4th semiquaver in bar 178 should be a c2, as a counterpart of d2 in bar 176 and b1 in bar 180, which implies a Terzverschreibung. However, in the main text we leave the version of the sources, since minor irregularities in the course of a progression are not unusual in Chopin's pieces, whereas the absence of [A] does not allow us to confirm a possible mistake. We add a cautionary before the discussed note in the main text. An accidental was added also in GE2. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Editorial revisions |

An earlier start of the hairpin is most probably an inaccuracy: of the copyist in FC (→GE) and – independently – of the engraver in EE. Cf. analogous b. 629-631. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Scope of dynamic hairpins , EE inaccuracies , Inaccuracies in FC |

One can understand the engraver of FE (→GE,EE); he did not know how to reproduce the inaccurate slur of A in the 1st half of the bar, going over the R.H. part (in A, the 2nd half of the bar is marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of the first). According to us, although the slur, when interpreted literally, reaches the c1 crotchet in the R.H. part, according to Chopin, it was supposed to encompass the L.H. half-a-bar figure and to be repeated in the 2nd half of the bar. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A |
