In JC, there are no flats lowering a and a1 into a and a1. The undeniable oversight of Chopin in [A] (→JC) is revealed by the cautionary before a in bar 7. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Cautionary accidentals , Omission of current key accidentals , Errors of JC |

Rhythmic values in the part of the R.H. in JC are not erroneous, yet a mistake of the copyist while writing such a rhythm which is in the remaining sources is more plausible. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors of JC |

The rhythm in EF (equal quavers at the end of the bar) and – despite a mistake – in JC most probably corresponds to the notation of [AI]. In [A] (→PE), which is undoubtedly a later version, Chopin homogenised the rhythm of the 3rd beat of the bar in bars 1-3 and 5-7. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors of JC |

In JC, FEF, and PE, the 5th quaver f is not extended to the value of a crotchet. It is certainly a mistake (the notation's inaccuracy), as the necessity to extend stems from the presence of the tie sustaining this note to the minim f in bar 10. Moreover, in JC, the last quaver, f1, is written erroneously in a two-part form. FEF has a correct notation. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Errors of JC , Errors in PE , Errors in Fontana's editions , Fontana's revisions |

The extension of the note d1 in bars 10 and 18, marked only in PE, is a typical Chopin's ploy. In bar 18 of this edition, an equivalent notation was applied, showing exactly the voices' coincidence. The notation may have resulted from a misunderstanding of the notation of [A], hence in both places we give the simplest notation used in bar 10. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors of JC |
