In bars 5, 7, 9 and 13, 15 & 17 in GE1 (→FE→EE) the marks were placed under the 3rd crotchet. This contradicts the notation of A, in which those asterisks were placed earlier, more or less in the middle of the bar. In GE2 (→GE3) the marks were moved even further towards the end of the bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

The slur in those bars is evident in A (→GE1) and provokes no stylistic doubts. The change made in GE2 (→GE3) by analogy with bars 5-6 and 9-10, where the notation of A is not that clear, misses - in our opinion - Chopin's intention. The absence of the slur in FE (→EE) is doubtless a mistake. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , GE revisions |

In A (→GE1) there is a cautionary before g flat1 at the beginning of bar 16. The unnecessary sign was omitted in FE (-→EE1→EE2), and in GE2 (→GE3) it was moved one quaver earlier, to bar 15. In EE3, a was added in bar 16, probably on the basis of GE1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals , Authentic corrections of FE , Last key signature sign |

The long accent of A was quite faithfully reproduced in GE1 (→FE). Still, in EE and GE2 (→GE3) the sign was shortened to an ordinary short accent. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies |

It is not certain whether the dot visible in A between the two notes of the sixth a1-f2 is a staccato sign or a miniature blot of ink without any significance. In all the places where Chopin marked staccato in a similar context, dots are placed above the notes. Therefore we leave the decision about taking this particular dot into consideration to the performer. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , EE inaccuracies |
