Similarly to the slur, the moment where the hairpin begins is not obvious in the manuscripts. We assume that the sign in A has the character of a long accent, and starts slightly before the a crotchet. However, the sign in GC starts after the minim at the beginning of the bar, as it was interpreted by GE which is based on this copy. The shortening of the hairpin in FE resulted most probably from the line-break, and the sign in EE was overlooked. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Scope of dynamic hairpins , Errors in EE , Inaccuracies in GC |

The lack of the arpeggio sign is most probably an oversight by the engraver of FE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE |

All versions of dynamic indications differing from the one written in A result from an inaccurate reproduction of the notation of the autograph:

In the 1st R.H. chord, GE1 did not include the cautionary naturals next to a1 and a2 written in A (→EE,GC). The naturals were added in GE2 (→GE3). FE omitted only the bottom . category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals |

It is not entirely clear what staccato marks were intened by Chopin in this bar. They resemble dots In A despite being bigger than usual – possibly Chopin emboldened them to make them better visible, or changed wedges for dots. FE read them as wedges (except for the omitted L.H. mark), GC and EE – as dots (in the copy the L.H. mark was omitted, and reinstated in GE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Wedges , Inaccuracies in GC |
