Issues : Errors of A

In A the only accidental before the 1st chord in the R.H. is the cautionary before e2. From the musical point of view, the version with d3 would be possible, yet a comparison with analogous bar 425 and a of d3 added – probably by Chopin – already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2) prove Chopin's mistake. Chopin committed the same mistake in a similar context in bar 423. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Cautionary accidentals , Omission of current key accidentals , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of GE , Last key signature sign |

In A there are no flats restoring b1 in the last chord in the L.H. in bars 456 and 464. These patent mistakes were corrected already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2), perhaps by Chopin. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Omissions to cancel alteration , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of GE |

Just like in bars 422-423, the flats lowering e3 to e3 and the cautionary before e2 in the L.H. in bar 463 prove that the version of A (→GE→FE1), interpreted literally, is erroneous. In EE, a respective is only in bar 463 (together with a before e2), which is probably a result of an oversight of the sign in bar 462. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in EE , Cautionary accidentals , Omission of current key accidentals , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE |

The missing slurs in A is a typical oversight of Chopin, related to the transition into a new page. GE1 (→FE→EE) added only the bottom slur, which, taking into account the double slurs in the adjacent bars, seems to be a simplified correction (or revision). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of GE |

These bars fill an entire page of A. On the previous page, Chopin wrote cresc. in bar 469 and marked its range with dashes until the end of the page (bar 474). The dashes appear then on the next page, from bar 481, yet there is no mark to which they could refer. It proves Chopin's mistake – either a new mark was supposed to be written in bars 475-480 or the composer forgot to write dashes extending cresc. from bar 469 in these bars. The latter seems to be much more likely, since the discussed bars continue the regular ascending progression, which started together with cresc. in bar 469. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Editorial revisions issues: Errors of A |
