It is difficult to clearly state whether in A the last chord in the R.H. includes an element placed on the bottom stave and if it does, which one it is. According to us, a bolder stem next to a possible note is not a deletion, yet blurred ink. Due to the fact that it faces up, the blurred note was probably an a. FE1 printed here b, only the proofreading of FE2 indicated that Chopin thought about a, same as in bar 84. However, the erroneous version of FE1 was adopted in all GE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Inaccuracies in A |

We consider the absence of separate staccato dots for the L.H. in A (→FE→GE1) to be an inaccuracy – see bars 70-71. The signs were added in EE (inaccurately – the last dot was overlooked) and GE2 (→GE3→GE4). In these sources staccato was added also on the first two quavers in bar 95. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

Same as in the previous analogous places Chopin removed the staccato dots written in A while proofreading FE1. However, as a result of the inaccurately performed correction, the dots in the 2nd half in bar 95 remained partially visible. GE interpreted the notation correctly, yet in EE these not too visible signs were considered to be valid and, moreover, their counterparts in the part of the L.H. were added. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , Authentic corrections of FE |

In the main text we give the longer slur with which Chopin replaced staccato dots and the shorter slur of A in the proofreading of FE1. He introduced similar changes in almost all analogous places. The version of EE is a result of misunderstanding of the quite inaccurately performed correction of FE (the removed dots remained partially visible there). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |
