In this case, the easiest explanation for the longer phrase mark of FC (→GE) is a mistake resulting from the change of division of the text into lines. The phrase mark in A reaches almost the end of the line, since b. 377, which ends it, is very tight. The copyist wrote an entire phrase in that line, until b. 378, and wrote a phrase mark whose range was similar to A, yet measured in relation to the end of the line. The ending of the tie of c1, put in A in b. 378, is an alternative opportunity to commit a mistake: Chopin did not place it at the pitch of the note head, but at the end of the stem, as a result of which it looks like a phrase mark. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FC |

The missing L.H. slur probably resulted from lack of space in GE1. It does not really matter, since Chopin himself would often write only one slur over parts of both hands written down together on one stave, considering it to be valid for both hands – cf., e.g. the Ballade in G minor, Op. 23, bars 1-5. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |

In GE (→EE) the slur starting in bar 376, which ends a line, clearly suggests that it should be continued; however, there is no ending thereof in bar 377. In FE and FESB the slur was led only to the last semiquaver in bar 376, interpreting the notation of GE as an inaccurate ending of the slur. We interpret it similarly in the content transcription of GE and EE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources |

When interpreted literally, the R.H. slur starts in A from the 4th semiquaver in the bar. It must be an inaccuracy (cf. the L.H. slur), probably caused by ink stoppage. It was already in GE1 that this situation was evaluated properly, hence in all editions the range of this slur is correct. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

The short accent in EE, given the lack of a note to be accented, must an inaccuracy of notation as there is a long accent here in both GC and FE. Lack of accent in GE must be an element of revision based on an assumption that in GC the tie on g was omitted. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , GE revisions |
