In bars 327 and 331 the notation of the rhythm of the R.H. part is unclear in A – the top note of the second at the beginning of the bar has no stem. This may mean a semibreve or be just one of the numerous inaccuracies of the notation of A, in which note heads without stems are in chords quite a common occurrence. In the latter case, the notation would mean the second f1-g1 or g1-a1 with the stem down. In the editions, these top notes were given the value of a minim and had stems pointing upwards added to them. However, analysis of the traces of corrections visible in A leads to the conclusion that Chopin had semibreves in mind, as he removed (scratched out) the upward stems of both notes in question, and, moreover, in bar 327 he deleted the note g1 in the 2nd half of the bar and the tie connecting both notes of this pitch, which required the first g1 to be held until the end of bar. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

The division of the slur in GE (→FE), as a result of which the 2nd half in bar 328 is not embraced with a slur at all, is undoubtedly a mistake of the engraver of GE1. The version of FE – without a slur in bar 329 – can be interpreted as an oversight of FE or as a notation of the state of GE1 from before the final retouch. In the second case, the slur of GE1 in bar 329 would be an inaccurate attempt to alleviate the consequences of omission of the final one-and-a-half-bar fragment of the slur. A suitable completion of the slur, this time accurate, was introduced in EE.

The slur over the final section of the passage in the L.H. written on the bottom stave is most probably an addition of the revision of GE1 (→FE→EE). In turn, moving the beginning of this slur to bar 327, introduced in GE2, is undoubtedly a revision. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |
