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 |

The change of the clearly long accents in A to short ones is certainly a result of an inaccuracy of GE (→FE→EE). The sign in bar 207 was initially written over the top stave in A, and then deleted and replaced with an accent between the parts of both hands. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , Corrections in A |

The missing slur must be considered Chopin's or the engraver's mistake – in the remaining analogous bars, there are slurs, although inaccurate. In the main text, we suggest a slur modelled after the slurs of the sources in bars 205 and 209. category imprint: Editorial revisions |
