Taking into account the slurs in analogous bar 121 and the relatively numerous inaccuracies and omissions concerning slurs in the Variations, in the main text we suggest adding a slur over the demisemiquaver group. We provide the slur in brackets, as the different melodic motif used in this group and the presence of ritenuto mitigate the parallel nature of the endings in bar 121 and 123. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

The absence of the mark in GE probably results from the fact that Chopin entered it into FE (→EE) later, while proofreading, after the copy that served as the basis for GE had been sent. It is proven by a different font of the letter than in the remaining places in the piece. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

The absence of markings – dots under the slur – in bar 125 must be considered an oversight, since the chordal motifs in bar 125 and 127 must be performed using the same kind of articulation. Therefore, in the main text we suggest adding respective markings. The easiest explanation for their absence in GE in bar 127 is the engraver's carelessness. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in GE |
