In A the slur in the L.H. begins already over the rest, and in GC even before. It is an example of Chopin's frequent manner of writing sweeping slurs (cf. e.g. the slurs in Mazurkas, Op. 24), as well as Gutmann's characteristic imprecision in this domain of notation. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Source & stylistic information issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in GC |

In A (→GC,EE) the middle note a1 on the 2nd beat of the R.H. is assigned to the middle voice. Recognising such division into voices, the revisers of FE and GE shortened the value of this note by deleting the extending dot. No repetition of a1 on the last quaver (cf. bar 94) indicates rather the necessity to sustain this note to the end of the bar, in accordance with the notation of A. Therefore, in the main text we correct the illogical in this situation division into voices, following similar bars 38 and 40. At the time of writing this chord, Chopin could have thought about bar 94, which could have caused the mistake. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , FE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |

The ending of slur in bar 94 is unclear in A – Chopin probably meant a "tenuto slur" as in the first half of bar 92. However, it cannot be ruled out that it is the shorter slur in FE and EE which correctly conveys Chopin's intention. The earlier beginning of slur in GC (→GE) is certainly a result of copyist's inattentiveness. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies , Inaccuracies in GC |
