In front of the 2nd semiquaver in each of these bars, there are no accidentals in the sources except for naturals added in GE2 (→GE3), which cannot come from Chopin. Therefore, it seems that the top note is supposed to be a2. However, there are strong grounds, both source (proved also in other pieces Chopin's doubts concerning the notation of a/a notes in the G minor key) and stylistic (natural harmonic passage), for considering it as Chopin's mistake. Therefore, in the main text we suggest to add naturals to achieve the sound of a2. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in FE , Errors in EE , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Last key signature sign , Errors of FC |

Chopin added a crotchet stem in the L.H. to the g quaver in the proofreading of FE1. The absence of this correction in the analogous bar in the written repetition in the editions most probably results from Chopin's oversight. We directly include this minor improvement in the main text, which corresponds to both analogous bars in the first editions. An addition was respectively performed in the bar being a repetition of bar 7 also in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in FE , Errors in EE , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Accompaniment changes , Authentic corrections of FE , Omitted correction of an analogous place |

In A, FE and EE1 there is no cancellation of a few previously raised notes in chromatic passages:

The missing in EE is probably an oversight, although it is likely that the hairpin was intentionally omitted as supposedly superfluous along with cresc. The shift of the mark in GE1 could be considered an inaccuracy, yet its extension in GE2 (→GE3) was almost certainly intentional – attempts were made to bring the beginning of the hairpin towards the 1st quaver. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in EE , GE revisions |

Nothing indicates that the fingering of EE could be authentic. What is more, a mistake was most probably committed in b. 8 – in the middle of the bar, the b-a notes should be, apparently, played with the fingers 2-1, as they were in the previous bar, in an analogous place. In the copied fingering, it is, however, impossible to reach d at the beginning of the 4th group without crossing the fingers, which should have been marked. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in EE |
