A has only dashes marking the range of an unspecified indication in these bars, most probably cresc. from bar 469 – see bars 475-480. The cresc. marking, appearing in GE (→FE→EE) at the beginning of bar 481, was added probably by Chopin as proofreading of incomplete indications of A, hence we give it in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of GE |

The tonic chord in the second inversion in [ReF] must be the original version of this quaver, eventually rejected by Chopin, since all the remaining sources feature a dominant chord in this place. According to us, the corrections introducing a new concept in the orchestral part were not entirely controlled by Chopin, which manifested itself in the omission of the seventh in Morch among others. However, the seventh is present in the piano reduction of A and in all editions. In the last phase of proofreading of FE2, the composer introduced another change, replacing the third of the chord with a transitory fourth. We include the latest, probably final, version in the main text. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations issues: Foreign hand additions in manuscripts , Errors of A , Accompaniment changes , Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE |

The slurs of A are most probably a result of an unfinished correction – Chopin initially wrote two short slurs, but instead of continuing to divide the passage into motifs, he added a second slur, combining it with the previous one. The process was finished in GE (→FE→EE), in which a continuous slur runs from the beginning of the bar. According to us, it is highly likely that the slur was proofread by Chopin in GE1, which is indicated by:

In A bar 505 is the last one on the page and the slurs in this and the next bar do not fit together – the slur in bar 505, although it does not go beyond the bar line, suggests continuation, whereas in bar 506 a new slur clearly begins. In this situation, the version of GE is most probably a result of Chopin's proofreading, since it seems to be unthinkable that the engraver of GE1 would have interpreted the slurs of the base text in this way on his own initiative. This conclusion is confirmed by the traces of corrections of this slur in print, visible in bar 504, cluster of the slur with the category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A , EE inaccuracies , Authentic corrections of GE |
