A has two R.H. slurs in those bars: one above the notes and the other, shorter one - under the notes (it is not clear whether the lower slur is to begin from the semiquaver or from the 2nd beat of the bar). The versions of GE1 (→FE) present the slurs of A inaccurately (the starting point) and erroneously (only one of the two slurs from bar 75 has an ending in bar 76 in a new line). In EE and GE2 (→GE3) the notation was streamlined, with a single slur left. In our opinion, the lower slur of A was written earlier and in the composer's intention it was replaced by the upper slur. Chopin failed to remove the earlier-written slur either accidently or wishing to avoid deletions and erasures that could affect the legibility of the manuscript. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

The long accent over the minim b flat1 in A was written as a short one in GE. In FE it was placed under the note. In EE the accent is absent, as it was interpreted as hairpins complementing the hairpins from bar 75. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE |

The dynamic markings in those bars are consistent in the sources as regards their essential meaning, yet they differ in graphic details. For our main text we adopt the version combined from authentic elements of A (the moment of beginning the cresc. in bar 92) and of FE as corrected by Chopin (the extent of dashes delimiting the scope of the dynamic change). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE |

In EE the agogic indications in those bars were placed between the staves. Chopin's abbreviation accel. was replaced with the full word in GE (→FE→EE). In GE1, GE2 and FE that full-word term was misspelt (double 'l'). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |
