Since both CJ and CK are based on [A2], their differing versions cannot be true at the same time. However, there are no grounds to consider one of them to be more likely than the other. According to us, it is also likely that according to Chopin's intention, it was both minims that were supposed to be accented – it could have been Chopin himself that overlooked it in [A2] or both copyists at the same time. This version was implemented in CB, and we suggest it in the main text. As an alternative solution we suggest two long accents, whose application in this context – long notes – is closer to the Chopinesque practices concerning the choice of accents. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , Errors of JC , Balakirev's revisions , Errors in CK |

Just like in the previous bar, in the main text we include delicatiss. present in the sources coming from [A2] – CJ, CK (→CB) and EL. In the earlier copies – CJ and CK – the indication is placed centrally under the R.H. run. The omission of rallent. in CB is Balakirev's revision, who replaced three authentic indications in b. 60-63 with one in b. 62-64. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Centrally placed marks , Balakirev's revisions |

The dynamic and agogic indications of the final four-bar section clearly differ in the particular sources. However, only two basic versions are authentic – A1 and CJ and CK (the differences between both copies based on [A2] concern insignificant details only). The close resemblance of the version of CB to the one of EL is puzzling – according to us, however, the coincidence does not point to a common source, which is contradicted by other numerous differences between these sources, but to a similar way of thinking of Balakirev and the reviser of EL, who strived for simplified notation. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Balakirev's revisions , Revisions in EL |
