The accent mark in A is longer than the one in bar 65, hence we reproduce it as a long accent. However, it is also likely that this difference is of a random nature, while the interpretation compliant with Chopin's intention is the one adopted by GE (→GE→FE,EE). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in IE |

In GE (→FE,IE) both the R.H. slur and the R.H. tie were inaccurately reproduced – there is no ending thereof in bar 72, in a new line. In our transcriptions, we interpret this version as compliant with A. In EE the slur was reproduced correctly, but the tie to f1 was omitted. In the main text we provide the unquestionable A notation. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in EE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in IE |

The adjacent endings of the slurs at the beginning of bar 73 are so close to each other in A that it cannot be ruled out that Chopin wanted to combine them. On the other hand, if this had been the case, he could have simply drawn one slur (under the notes) or add a second one, also under the notes, to emphasise their continuous nature. Therefore, the difference in the position of the slurs suggests the solution adopted to the main text, that is 2 overlapping slurs. This is also confirmed by the distribution of voices – the crotchets in bar 73 enter as a new, third voice. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

In bar 73, 75 and 77, in the main text we omit the slurs being part of the triplet markings – cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 16. In this case, there are no doubts that this is the only function of these slurs, which is confirmed by the staccato marking in bar 77. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: Triplet slurs |
