The version with f, present in GC (→GE) and the first impressions of FE, is the original version. Chopin removed f in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4) and in the base text to EE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of EE |

It is hard to determine how the difference in the slurring between FE and GC occurred. The new slur over bar 208 seems to be added, perhaps by Chopin, yet it could have been an ad hoc correction of a too short, or perhaps poorly visible, slur. In the main text we give the slur of FE, compatible with the prevailing phrasing. category imprint: Differences between sources |

The clear and coherent slurring of A is certainly the only authentic one. Initially, the engraver of GE1 replaced the Chopin slurs with whole-bar ones (same as one bar earlier); it was in the proofreading only that the right-hand ending of the slur beginning in bar 208 was drawn to bar 209. At the same time, the slur in bar 207 is so inaccurate that in FE it was led further on, until the minim in bar 208. As a result, in FE both slurs coincide on this chord, which EE interpreted arbitrarily as a combination of slurs. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE |

Missing dots in the majority of the editions are a result of inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE). The signs were added in GE2. Moreover, in GE the accent was reproduced as short, whereas in FE (→EE1) it was completely overlooked. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Errors in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

lowering g1 to g
is highly likely, as this kind of oversights belongs to the most common inaccuracies of Chopin's notation, whereas a diminished four-note chord – to his favourite chords.
