In the main text we give the title and dedication in the undoubtedly authentic version adopted in FE. The extensions of both the title (in GE and EE) and dedication (in EE) most probably come from the editors.

In the main text we give the fingering of A concerning the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quavers in bar 1 (it was also reproduced in FE and EE) and the fingering numeral over the 9th quaver, added in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). The authenticity of these indications is beyond any doubt, contrary to the limited, yet resulting in the same effect notation of GE and the notation of EE, completed by Fontana.

It is unclear how to treat the short, two-quaver-long slurs visible in the sources. They do not raise any doubts in A, in which they are compatible with the accents over each sixth. However, after removal of the majority of accents in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE), the slurs seem not to correspond to the new accentuation. The fact of leaving them could have been a compromise, whose aim was to avoid an additional, significant complication of a proofreading. On the other hand, it cannot be excluded that Chopin removed the accents in order not to change their layout, but to avoid exaggeration resulting from double indications. Therefore, having no absolute certainty of Chopin's intention, we suggest a version without slurs as a recommended alternative to the main text from A (→FE). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

It is not entirely clear whether FE has two accents in the 2nd half of the bar, as it is in A, or one, as it is in GE or EE. According to us, in the preceding fragment Chopin clearly expressed his intention of leaving only the accents on the 4th and 10th quavers in bars 1-4 and this is the version, clearly reproduced in GE, that we give in the main text. However, the accent in an analogous place of the 2nd eight-bar section (bar 12) may be considered as an argument for two accents in the discussed place in bar 4. The version of EE is probably a result of revision based on the comparison with bar 12. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , Authentic corrections of FE |

The missing mark is a patent error of the engraver of FE (→GE1,EE), corrected in subsequent GE,s. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , No pedal release mark |
