In A, in the middle of the bar there was originally a minim c-g-e1 chord, which was then deleted and replaced with a rest. Eventually, while proofreading FE (→GE,EE), Chopin gave the initial fifth the value of a semibreve. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Corrections in A , Authentic corrections of FE |

The sources reveal Chopin's hesitation concerning the fingering in this bar. According to the indications in A and FED, the fingering order for the 1st group of semiquavers is 5215, while FE (→GE,EE) gives 5125. However, neither A nor FED determines the fingering of the two following semiquaver groups – it can be both 4215 and 4125. In the main text we adopt a variant solution, in which we collate the digits featured in the sources. Additionally, we suggest a notation including all fingering possibilities stemming from various interpretations of these source notations which do not determine the fingering in the 2nd and 3rd groups of semiquavers. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Authentic corrections of FE |

The fingering of the L.H. was added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE) – only the 1st finger over f in bar 16 is written in A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

The slurs in A, despite being added in fragments, were undoubtedly meant to create one continuous slur, running from the beginning of bar 16 to the middle of bar 23. However, in FE (→GE,EE), the slurs between bars 19 and 20 are clearly separated. Moreover, nothing indicates that the omitted in FE (→GE1) continuation of the slur in bar 21, certainly by inattention, was to be connected with the slur beginning in bar 22 (in EE and subsequent GE,s the slur in bar 20 ends on the last note). It is hard to attribute this discrepancy only to the engraver's distraction, on the other hand, it is uncertain what a possible Chopin's proofreading of slurs considered, whether the composer actually wanted to resign from one slur and divide it into two-bar phrases. In this situation, in the main text we give the certainly authentic slurring of A, subject to the fact that Chopin's latest decision could have been the divided slurs of the editions. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |
