The clear wedge in A was recreated as a dot in GE. The dot is also in EE. FE is lacking the sign. category imprint: Differences between sources |

The sources differ in the rhythmic values of particular chord components, which probably stems from the notation of the manuscripts, which were either unclear or unintelligible for the engravers. A may be interpreted in 2 ways: it is not certain whether 3 lower notes of the chord are supposed to be minims or semi breves. The second notation is rhythmically exact, yet the notation of the last quaver with the stem directed downwards suggests that Chopin understood the ending of the bar monophonically. Considering the fact that Chopin would sometimes write chord components without stems (in the case of crotchets it does not lead to misunderstandings), we see that the notation in A may be understood in such way as it was done in GE. Together with the application of authentic pedalling its sound equals the notation with semi breves; practically, it is even closer to the real performance (the c1 note cannot be held longer than for a minim, as it is struck in the L.H.). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Different values of chord components |

The first grace note in EE has the form of a small semiquaver. It is difficult to determine whether it is coherent with the notation of the manuscript (with the small semiquaver or slashed quaver) which served as the base text for this edition. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Notation of grace notes |

In all editions the slur over the group of grace notes was omitted. It could have been a result of the manuscripts' awkward notation: in A the slur placed under the notes intersects the ties. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |
