In the main text we suggest adding a slur after analogous bar 7, marked more accurately. Similarly, in bar 373. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

In A the initial octave is provided with a staccato mark, which we interpret as a wedge – although small, the mark is clearly oblong. The differences between the notation of the staccato marks in the motif consisting of three C-c octaves are confirmed by the unambiguous notation of the analogous motifs in bars 1-2, 9-10, 11-12, 184-185 and 186-187. In GE (→FE,EE) a dot was provided, which was omitted in IE due to the slur beginning from this note or simply overlooked. A slur of this range was added in GE (→FE,EE,IE) – in A Chopin omitted it – referring to the inaccurate interpretation of the Chopinesque slurs in analogous bars (cf., e.g. bars 10-12). In the main text we add a slur after the authentic slurs in the aforementioned bars. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions , Wedges , |

The A slur clearly starts from the 2nd quaver, as in analogous bar 10, 12, 193. On the other hand, the ending of the slur breaks off under c1, which is a patent inaccuracy. This explains the action of the engraver of GE (→FE,IE), who "corrected" both ends of the Chopinesque slurs. The later starting point of the slur in EE, accidentally compliant with the A notation, must have resulted from the engraver's inaccuracy or could even be a printing defect. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies |

The A slur could easily be taken for an insignificant scrawl, which explains the oversight by the engraver of GE (→FE,EE,IE). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Errors in GE |

The shorter GE slur (→FE,EE,IE) could be an inaccuracy or a revision aimed at bringing this place into line with the authentic slurs in analogous bars 17-19. After all, the difference between the ways these places were written down in A suggests that Chopin considered them almost equivalent. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |
