The versions of A, GE and FE (→EE) differ only in the accuracy of notation of the sustained note d1. In FES Chopin entered a different, melodically richer version of that bar that, in our opinion, may be regarded at least on a par with the version of FE. Cf. bar 59. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Inaccuracies in GE , Annotations in FES , Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic post-publication changes and variants , Main-line changes |

In the main text we give the version written into FES and FED. The remaining sources have the version as in bar 3 and analogous bars. That type of adding variety to the melodic line is very characteristic of Chopin. He introduced similar changes, also as later corrections, in Mazurka in C major no. 2, bars 102-103, and also in other works. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Annotations in FES , Authentic post-publication changes and variants , Main-line changes |

The line added in FES may be a slur, yet it is not certain. The sign may be a teaching hint rather than a suggestion of alternative phrasing. The traces of removing a longer slur (extending from the semiquaver f sharp1 to g1 in bar 62) in A prove that Chopin's decision was a well-thought-out one. Therefore we do not take the entry of FES into consideration in our main text. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Corrections in A , Annotations in FES , Authentic post-publication changes and variants |
