The range and placement of the sign in EE may be authentic. In turn, the gradually extended hairpins in GE are certainly a result of routine action of the engraver or reviser of this edition. Lack of the sign in FE is probably Chopin's oversight – see the note on dim. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

The slur in GC is written very inaccurately – "boldly" – so that in GE1 it embraces also the first and last crotchet of the bar. It certainly does not correspond to Chopin's idea – cf. inaccurate slurs of GC in bar 10, where the editor did not fall into the trap, and bar 12, where he tried to interpret the dragged slur of GC. See also bars 7-8 or 79-80, as well as, e.g., the Scherzo in C minor, Op. 39, bars 344-347. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Inaccuracies in GC |

In the 2nd half of the bar, the only accidental in the part of the R.H. in GC, FE and EE1 is a raising d3 to d3. The notation, although inaccurate, determines also the sound of the 6th and 10th semiquavers in the 2nd half of the bar as d2 and d1. In turn, nothing indicates raising the 3rd, 7th and 11th semiquavers, which, in this situation, should read f3, f2 and f1. This version, however, is impossible in this melodic and harmonic context – the use of g as delay of the fifth of the B7 chord requires f (possibly f) as resolution. The sharps raising the discussed notes to f3, f2 and f1 were added in GE and later EE (in EE2 without before the 11th semiquaver).

The slur of GC, reaching above the rest, is certainly inaccurate. The version of GE1 is most probably an attempt to confer it meaning while preserving its length. The change performed in EE3 proves (excessive) trust of the reviser of this edition to the text of GE1. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Inaccuracies in GC |

In GC and FE there is no raising g1 to g1. This patent oversight was corrected in GE and EE. Similarly in bar 76. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , GE revisions , Omission of current key accidentals , Errors of GC |
