The ending of the slur of A may seem inaccurate, hence the interpretation of that slur in FC (→GE) may be correct. An argument for such an interpretation could be a much shorter slur of A in an identical phrase 4 bars later. However, the correctness of the slur of A is supported by the clear slurs in the analogous situations in b. 758-759 and 762-763, hence in the main text we keep the notation of A. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Inaccuracies in FC |

The slur of A is most probably unfinished due to ink flow problems; however, it is unclear where it should end. Two possibilities are involved: the beginning of b. 723, which is supported by the slurs in the analogous situations in b. 718-719, 758-759 and 762-763, or the end of b. 722, as it was interpreted by the copyist and which is indicated by the bend of the right-hand ending of the slur (or its visible, written part). In the main text we adopt the former, yet we consider the latter to be equivalent. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , FE revisions , Fontana's revisions |

The L.H. slur in A encompasses b. 723 only, hence it is compliant with the R.H. slur yet shorter than the slurs over the analogous motifs in b. 718-719, 758-759 and 762-763. It gives rise to the suspicion that the notation is inaccurate, hence the version of GE2 (→GE3) may be considered an acceptable variant.

The missing dashes marking the range of cresc. are an inaccuracy of FE (→EE) and GE1. Omission of such dashes is a quite frequent discretion of Chopinesque first editions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

An earlier pedal change in FC (→GE) is a result of inaccuracy of the copyist, who probably considered the notation of A to be inaccurate. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FC |
