The A slur is most probably inaccurate, both its beginning and ending. This is supported by the comparison with the precise slurs in analogous bar 342 and 345-346 (cf. also bars 162-164, 166-168 and 170-172). In GE (→EE,IE) it was most probably reproduced in this form, although in the available copies of GE the slur seems to be starting from the 2nd quaver, which is probably a printing defect (the position of the bar, in the right-hand bottom corner of the page, is conducive to such inaccuracies). The later starting point of the slur in FE probably resulted from this defect. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A |

The wedge was added in GE (→FE,EE,IE), probably by analogy with bar 345. We do not include it in the main text, as the majority of the analogous bars do not contain staccato marks. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

In the sources the marks in bar 341, 345 and 346 are provided with the form of short accents. However, the comparison with analogous bars reveals that in each of the two sections based on similar motifs (bars 162-171 and 293-312) Chopin most probably meant the same type of accent, which is long accent. In the first fragment there are 5 accents, 3 of which are clearly long, one is short, while one is ambiguous. In the other section out of 4 accents 2 are long, one is short, and one is ambiguous. Due to the above, in the main text we suggest long accents also in the discussed bars. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: Long accents |

The A slur does not go beyond the bar line, yet it seems that it was supposed to be led to the d1 crotchet in bar 343, particularly in the face of the unambiguous notation of an analogous slur in bars 346-347. In the editions the slur was ended on the last quaver in bar 342, which is justified by the inaccurate A notation. The earlier starting point of the slur in FE and IE is probably due to the overinterpretation of the GE notation. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A , |

In A Chopin omitted the accidentals to the R.H. third written on the bottom stave (f-a). They were already added in GE (→FE,EE,IE). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , Omission of current key accidentals , Inaccuracies in A |
