In the main text we give the undoubtedly later version of the accompaniment written – with minor inaccuracies – in PE. The new shape of the accompaniment in this version was provided with slurs and the indication legato, probably by Chopin. The text of EF is a more precise notation of the earlier version, written in a partially draft form also in JC. In that last manuscript, it is three additional notes that draw attention; their meaning and relation to the remaining part of the notation is ambiguous. It could be, e.g., a draft of a new version of the bass line in this bar developed by Chopin. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Accompaniment changes , Inaccuracies in PE |

The slur in EF – despite the fact that it corresponds to the natural phrasing – is probably an addition by Fontana. A similar reservation concerns the slur in bar 12. category imprint: Differences between sources |
