..
The accents under the minims of the middle voice of the R.H. are in GC (both) and FE (→EE) – only in bar 37. The missing signs were most probably overlooked as a result of an oversight or misunderstanding. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Errors in GE |

The slur in bar 37 in FE reaches the end of line, suggesting a continuation, however, there is no slur in bar 38. It is certainly a mistake because the slur in [A] looked most probably as the one carefully written in GC. Possibly authentic is also the longer slur in EE – Chopin could have written it while proofreading the basis to this edition. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Uncertain slur continuation , Authentic corrections of EE |

[A] most probably included wedges, as Gutmann considered them to be staccato dots on a number of occasions (cf., e.g., the Etude in F major, Op. 25 No. 3, bars 49-52). Chopin wedges were actually often misinterpreted as dots also by the engravers, in turn, misinterpretation of dots as wedges was almost inexistent. Therefore, in the main text we give wedges, added in FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4) most probably on the basis of [A]. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , FE revisions , Wedges , Inaccuracies in GC |

..
It is unknown how the discrepancies between the dynamic indications of the sources based on [A], i.e. GC and FE, occurred. In each of these sources, one can assume both an inaccurate interpretation of [A] and Chopinesque corrections or additions (in the case of FE they would be corrections in [A] introduced already after GC had been finished). In the main text we give the version of the base source (FE4), yet the version of GC may be considered an equal variant. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Scope of dynamic hairpins |
