The missing second staccato dot in FE (→EE) may have resulted from an oversight by Fontana in [FC] or by the engraver of FE. It is also likely that Chopin added dots in A after [FC] had already been finished, and then added only the first one while proofreading FE1. The absence of both dots in EE2 must be an oversight, while the slur in GE2 – an arbitrary revision to make the articulation of the 1st crotchet resemble the articulation of the subsequent crotchets in this phrase. In the main text we suggest the dots of A (→GE1) and two further ones, modelled after the more accurate notation of the sources in analogous bars. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in FE , Errors in EE |

The misspelled name of the dedication's addressee almost certainly resulted from a mistake by the engraver of FE1. It was not corrected until EE2, probably on the basis of a comparison with GE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Dedications |

It is difficult to say which of the two authentic versions concerning the tempo/character of the introduction – A and FE – was later and whether Chopin considered the last change to be final (the deletion visible in A shows that both indications already resulted from changes). In the main text we provide the more detailed indication of the principal source, that is A. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations |

In EE the authentic title of the piece – Fantasy [Fantaisie] – was provided with a numeral, Second [Seconde], to emphasise that Chopin had already composed a fantasy (Op. 13). This kind of numbering of subsequent pieces of the same genre was sometimes used by Chopin himself (e.g. in the Concerto in F minor, Op. 21 or in the Nocturne in D category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

, Op. 27 No. 2); nevertheless, in this case, it does not come from the composer. What is more, on the collective title page, the Fantasy was described as Great – Grand Fantasia – which must have been arbitrarily added by the publisher.
