Staccato in FE

No dot in GE & EE
..

In GE1 (→GE2→GE3) and EE there are no staccato dots under the 2nd crotchet (d1) in bars 58 and 62. These are almost certainly errors of the engravers.

Continuous slur in FE0 (→FE,FEG→GE1)

End of slur in EE & GE2 (→GE3)
..

In EE and GE2 (→GE3) the slur between bars 88 and 89 was broken. In the case of EE, it is hard to state whether it is an inaccuracy or a revision (one cannot even completely exclude Chopin's possible proofreading in the base text to EE). The version of GE2 (→GE3) is certainly a result of a revision. Due to the lack of proof for a later change of Chopin's concept, in the main text we abide by the slurring following from the notation of FE (→GE1), based on [A].
