In the editors' opinion, the slur in A is a remnant of the original version, as in bar 180. In the discussed bar the longer slur added by Chopin in GC may even be regarded as joining the short one, which confirms our conviction that the long slur was meant by Chopin to replace the short one. It was reproduced that way in GE. The slur from A was overlooked in both FE and EE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

In the main text we add a cautionary next to b1 in the R.H. An identical pencilled addition, probably performed by Chopin's hand, can be seen in FEJ. The GE1 (→GE2) version must be an erroneous revision, one of a few in bars 185-186: see the note at the beginning and in the middle of the next bar. In GE3, the lowering b1 to b1 was deleted. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Annotations in teaching copies , GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals , Annotations in FEJ |

The earlier beginning of slurs, so as they encompass whole bars, exemplifies a common revision of GE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

Before the first semiquaver GE added a lowering b to b, and GE2 (→GE3) also shifted the lowering b1 to b1 from before the 5th semiquaver to before the 3rd one. These arbitrary changes continue the harmonic revisions initiated by the addition of a lowering b1 to b1 in the middle of the previous bar. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

A lowering c2 to c2, added in GE1 (→GE2) in the middle of bar, presents the last of the arbitrary revisions resulting from complete misunderstanding of Chopin's sequence in bars 185-186. The accidental was removed in GE3. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |
