The slur of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) must be inaccurate, perhaps as a result of an erroneous interpretation of [A] – Chopin, while writing a slur over the accents of the top voice, obvious to him, could have not noticed that the 1st quaver of the bar, placed much lower, turned up under the slur. In GE3, the slur was omitted, perhaps taking into account its inadequacy to the natural phrasing resulting from the texture. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |

In the main text, we give the unquestionable, as far as the sources and music are concerned, version of FE. The octave in GE and EE may be either a mistake or a revision; at the same time, in each of these editions, the reason could have been different. In each case, the fact that the revisers did not take into account the analogy with the two previous bars is puzzling. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in EE , Errors in GE |

..
The slurs of FE (→GE1→GE2) at the transition between bars 321 and 322 are inaccurate and unclear. The slur over the 3rd beat of bar 321 runs from the b1 crotchet to the last semiquaver of that bar, whereas the beginning of the slur in bar 322, opening a new line of text, suggests continuation from the previous bar. According to us, both slurs are inaccurate; in the main text, we clarify them, taking advantage of the similarity between bars 321 and 319-320 – we assign the slur in bar 321 to the bottom voice and start the slur in bar 322 from the beginning of that bar. This solution was adopted already in EE. In turn, GE3 considered only the slur in bar 321 to be inaccurate; it was changed in such a way, so that the beginning of the slur in bar 322 was meaningful. This version, offering quite an advantageous phrasing (cf. the slur in the L.H. in bars 321-322), may be considered an alternative interpretation of FE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

In bars 321-322 and 325-326, quaver rests filling the rhythmic values of the top voice were added in EE and GE3. We preserve the sparing notation, typical of Chopin, avoiding excessive formalism. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |
