The hairpins in A may be read and interpreted in a number of ways. This is so because the beginning of the mark was drawn too vigorously and its ends are of unequal length. The versions of GE1 (→FE) and GE2 (→GE#) present two attempts to decipher the notation of A. The hairpins in EE are probably a distorted accent. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Scope of dynamic hairpins , GE revisions , Unclear hairpins in A |

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 |
