In spite of the clear difference in the length of the accents in b. 118, 120, 122 and 124 visible in A, in the main text we give a unified notation with four short accents, which are more natural in these brilliant, virtuoso passages. At the same time, it is compliant with the notation of the principal source, i.e. FC, although it seems unlikely that Chopin could have interfered with the notation of the copy here. The absence of the last mark in FE (→EE) is an oversight, whereas the shorter first accent in EE – an inaccuracy or revision. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , Errors in FE , EE inaccuracies , Inaccuracies in FC |

In all sources except A the note h in LH is just a quaver. Based on A we present the version with a crotchet stem and an augmentation dot. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FC |

The moment of starting the slur in FC is unclear, which most probably corresponds to the notation of [A] and which would explain both the slur of FE and of GE (the seemingly shortened slur in GE3 is most probably a print fault). However, according to us, in this type of context, the written with panache beginning of the slur could concern only the 2nd crotchet in Chopin's intention – cf., e.g., the Mazurka in G minor, Op. 24 No. 1, bar 21. An additional argument for such an interpretation of this slur can be the slur of EE in bars 121-122. The total absence of the discussed slur in EE is most probably accidental. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Inaccuracies in FC |
