In the main text we provide the A slur in its literal interpretation. However, the interpretation adopted by the editions is by all means reasonable and recommendable as such, particularly in the face of numerous inaccuracies of A in terms of slurs – see, e.g. the note on bars 148-153. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

Both versions are musically satisfying, in all respects; we cannot say anything definitive about possible corrections either – two possibilities could be likely: a change in the last stage of proofreading FE (→EE) and possible Chopinesque proofreading of GE. On the other hand, one cannot exclude a mistake by the GE engraver, who could have considered the middle notes of the last two chords to be identical (the discussed note is placed in FE too low). In the main text we provide the undoubtedly authentic FE version, perhaps the latest one. The GE version can be regarded as a potentially authentic variant. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE |

FE and GE have a double bar line between those bars. In the case of GE, this is definitely a revision (in GC, its base text, the bar line is single). This makes us suspect that the version of FE may also result from a routine editorial revision. Chopin used double bar lines infrequently and never treated them as necessarily connected with the change of key. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: GE revisions , FE revisions |

In #KG, the tie sustaining a flat is only present in bar 155 (in a new line). This was probably the reason why GE1 did not have it at all. The error was corrected in GE2. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Errors in GE , Inaccuracies in GC |
