Both signs are written in A on the saff, what further hindered the legibility of the faint hairpins. As a result GC (→GE), FE overlooked them, and EE imprecisely reproduced the first sign only. category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , Unclear hairpins in A , Inaccuracies in GC |

In GC the slurs in bars 71-76 are written inaccurately, yet in the majority of the cases they embrace the bar from the first to the last note (only in bar 72 the slur clearly starts from the 2nd note). GE has bar-long slurs in all these bars. In the main text we give the slurs of A (→FE,EE), distinctly different despite slight inaccuracies at line breaks. See also bars 77-79. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in GC , Uncertain slur continuation |

In bars 73 and 75 some sources erroneously leave superfluous cautionary next to D in the L.H. In bar 73 a appears only in EE and in GE2 (→GE3), while in bar 75 it was left in GC (→GE) and in EE. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in GC |

The last semiquaver in the L.H. was certainly corrected in GC from e to f. It is hard to state clearly whether it is Gutmann's own correction or whether it was Chopin that noticed and corrected the wrong pitch while reviewing GC. Cf. the note in bar 13. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Inaccuracies in GC , Alterations in GC |

In GC (→GE) rallentando begins one bar earlier, which is almost certainly the copyist's error. In GE there are no dashes limiting the range of the indication, while in FE there is no indication at all. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in GC |
