In the editors' opinion, starting the slur from the last crotchet of bar 272 does not conform to Chopin's intention. Three preceding bars are notated in GC only as a repetition of bar 269; the same was certainly true for [A]. In such a situation it seems probable that the slur over bars 273-276 was supposed to encompass only the written out phrase taken from the middle section of the Scherzo. category imprint: Interpretations within context issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

Beginning the slur of GC (→GE) in bar 275 is most probably a mistake – cf. the slur of FE, beginning one bar later. However, the intention of the writer could have been combining this slur with the slur in bar 273. We include this possibility also due to the slur of EE, which is most probably a result of Chopin's extension of the slur of FE2 in the base text to EE. While the idea of embracing all the discussed bars with one slur does not raise any doubts, the moment of starting the slur could be misinterpreted by the engravers of EE (cf. the note on analogous situations in the middle section of Scherzo). The suggestion of completing the version of FE results from the conviction that the omission of the slur in bar 273 was not intended in this edition. Except for the first of the aforementioned versions, each of the remaining ones can be considered to be corresponding to Chopin's intention on a certain stage of shaping the notation of this phrase. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors of GC , Authentic corrections of EE |

Both the version of the majority of the sources and FE4 are undoubtedly authentic. In the main text we give the later one, introduced by Chopin in the proofreading of FE4. The version of EE2 is an arbitrary compilation of both authentic versions. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

The lack of pedalling in this bar may be regarded as Chopin's oversight – markings in the next two bars suggest that the composer did not link pedal indications with the lower bass note being struck. The complement suggested by the editors is particularly advisable when the pianist employs a division between hands implied by the score. category imprint: Editorial revisions |
