In the main text we give the undoubtedly later version of the accompaniment written – with minor inaccuracies – in PE. The new shape of the accompaniment in this version was provided with slurs and the indication legato, probably by Chopin. The text of EF is a more precise notation of the earlier version, written in a partially draft form also in JC. In that last manuscript, it is three additional notes that draw attention; their meaning and relation to the remaining part of the notation is ambiguous. It could be, e.g., a draft of a new version of the bass line in this bar developed by Chopin. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Accompaniment changes , Inaccuracies in PE |

This is also how it was printed in EF, yet in this case the end of the slur is drawn until the g3-b category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in PE |

Lack of the lower voice in JC is certainly the copyist's oversight. The way of subscribing the last notes in PE suggests a simultaneous strike of the e category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors of JC , Inaccuracies in PE |

A comparison with the remaining 5 analogous places – bar 10, 42, 50, 114 and 122 – reveals that the longer slur in the discussed bar is almost certainly inaccurate. Therefore, in the main text we give a slur only over the group of quavers, as was performed in the other bars. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in PE |
