In the majority of the sources, the notation of accents is inaccurate. In A in bars 43-44 Chopin limited himself to general suggestions concerning accents, in FE (→GE,EE) the marks were partially completed (only in bar 43). Moreover, the attention is drawn by the difference in bars 41-42 – in FE (→GE) the accent on the 2nd beat in bar 41 was omitted (added in EE3), yet a mark was added over the last group in bar 42. All cases of the mark's omissions most probably result from distraction. In the main text we include all accents in bars 41-43 and we suggest to complete the marks in bar 44. EE4 displays such completed text. The type of accents, which Chopin had in mind at the time of writing A in these bars, constitutes another problem. We consider short accents to be more natural in this context and this is how it was understood in FE (→GE,EE). However, due to the existing doubts, we also suggest long accents as a possible interpretation of A and an alternative version of the main text. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , Authentic corrections of FE |

In the editions the staccato dot written by Chopin in A was omitted. Most probably it is a result of an oversight of the engraver of FE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE |

A (→FE→GE) has two slurs in this bar. In the main text we give the undoubtedly legitimate interpretation of EE (one slur). Cf. bar 3. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources |

In A the slur running from the g1-g2 octave is written only in bar 42 (at the end of the text's line). This inaccuracy probably caused its misinterpretation in FE (→EE) as a tie sustaining g2. In GE the slur was omitted, which, among others, may be a simple oversight. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A , Errors in GE , GE revisions |
