The accent in A is ambiguous. We assume that it is rather short (as in the editions), although its interpretation as long accent cannot be excluded. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

In EE the pedal ending on the 2nd quaver in bar 115 starts already at the beginning of bar 113. In all other sources the pedal is only on the 1st crotchet in bar 115. In A at the beginning of bar 113 one can see a deletion of the sign. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations |

The clear staccato dot in A was recreated in GE and EE. FE has a wedge, it cannot be excluded that such a sign could have been in the lost base text. In the editions we generally have a situation in which the wedges written by Chopin were most frequently interpreted as dots. category imprint: Differences between sources |

A (→GE) and FE have the indication sotto voce. In A one can see that Chopin corrected the original indication – . Taking this into consideration, different indications in EE – legatissimo – are almost certainly authentic and come from the lost manuscript base text (it also applies to the remaining indications in bars 117, 119, 122). In A we also have a few other deleted and corrected performance indications. Cf. also the beginning of the Mazurka Op. 24, No. 2. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A |
