Despite being clearly separated by Chopin in A, the tempo indication (abbreviated) – Allo – and the expressive one – appassionato – were combined into one in GE – Allegro appassionato. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

Bars 1-12, marked in A by Chopin with a conventional repetition sign, were rewritten in the editions. According to us, it is an arbitrary decision of the French editor, probably resulting from graphic issues – from the layout of the text on the pages. Consequently, analogous places display minor differences, which – due to the repetition in A – were certainly not intended by Chopin. The discrepancies mainly result from oversights and inaccuracy of the engravers and, to a certain extent, from Chopin's superficial review. Due to the fact that in the main text we preserve the notation of A, for bars 1-12 we adopt two manners of marking the differing elements in the repeated bars:

The staccato dots for the 2nd chord are rather non-authentic. They were most probably added by the revisers, perhaps as a result of misinterpretation of A – one can see a minor fleck of ink between the beam and note head of the lowest note in the R.H. Moreover, the signs were added inconsistently: FE (→GE1) includes dots only the first time (in GE1 only over the R.H.), yet they are absent in the repetition. The revisers of EE and GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) added dots in both situations. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , FE revisions |
