The placement of crescendo differs slightly in particular sources. In FEG Chopin added cresc. under the last quaver in bar 216, and this is how it was reproduced by the engraver of GE1. In the next editions, GE2 (→GE3), the indication was moved slightly to the left, starting on the last quaver in bar 216. In EE the word crescendo was divided into syllables, which is a characteristic revision of the editor, and it was started at the end of bar 216. In the main text we adopt the indication of FE1, beginning in bar 217. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE , Authentic corrections of EE |

The accent written by Chopin in FEG does not differ in the size from the next ones, yet in GE1 it was interpreted as short. Perhaps the engraver paid attention to a slightly different shape of the sign; he could have also assumed that an accent would be more suitable over the crotchet, while over the pair of quavers – a short diminuendo (this is how the engravers would treat Chopin long accents). FE and EE also have short accents, however, it does not give certainty – as in the case of GE1 – as to Chopin's intention. Without access to a photography of FEG with higher revolution, not to mention finding the base texts to FE and EE, this issue seems to be impossible to resolve. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE , Authentic corrections of EE |

FE0 has a whole rest in the L.H. In FEG (→GE) Chopin added two quavers and relevant rests. He must have introduced a similar change also in the base texts to FE and EE. According to us, the quavers – same as the previous ones – were supposed to be embraced with a slur, in spite of the fact that it is absent in FE and in FEG (if we are to believe the photocopy of this source, which is not of the highest quality). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE , Authentic corrections of EE |
