The later starting point of the slurs in the parts of both hands does not seem to be a random mistake by the FE engraver. However, it is difficult to indicate the reason behind this revision. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: FE revisions |

When interpreted literally, the pairs of dynamic marks in these bars look like a crescendo and an accent. However, the comparison with an analogous phrase in bars 49-52 and with bar 57 proves that – which was already noticed in GE (→FE,EE,IE) – Chopin intended them to be pairs of . Such situations explain, to a certain extent, the engravers' general tendency to prolong dynamic hairpins. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Scope of dynamic hairpins , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |

In both bars Chopin wrote a dotted crotchet rest, which was changed in GE (→FE,EE,IE) to a standard version of notation using a crotchet and a quaver rest. We reproduce Chopin's notation only in the graphic transcription. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |

In the sources the repeat sign faces only the left, which, considering the same sign at the end of the movement (bar 80), is a patent mistake. In young Chopin's pieces there are several such inaccuracies – cf. the Polonaise in A, WN 3, bars 13-38 or the Variations in E, WN 5, bars 92-107 – while later pieces are not free from such mistakes either, e.g. the Polonaise in C minor, Op. 26 No. 1, bar 13 or the Polonaise in E minor, Op. 26 No. 2, bar 21. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: Differences in form , Inaccuracies in A |
