The time signature in FE (→EE1) is almost certainly a result of inattention or manner of the engravers of FE, who in numerous pieces by Chopin seemed not to differentiate between and – see the Etudes, Op. 10 or the Impromptu in A major, Op. 29. Therefore, in the main text we give , written in GC (→GE), whose correctness and authenticity do not raise any doubts. This time signature – probably under the influence of GE – was introduced also in EE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , 4/4 or 2/2 |

The slur embracing the bass motif, visible in GC (→GE), was probably overlooked by the engraver of FE1 (→FE2→EE1). It was then added in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4), probably as a result of Chopin's intervention. The sign was also added in EE2.

The Chopin was often misinterpreted by the engravers as – cf., e.g., the Etude in C minor, Op. 10 No. 4, bar 1. Therefore, it is highly likely to assume that Gutmann reproduced Chopin's autograph correctly, whereas the engraver of FE – not. The inclusion of , valid already from the 2nd quaver, makes the difference between both indications purely theoretical.

A shorter slur in EE1 is certainly mistaken – cf. subsequent bars. The error was corrected in EE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in EE |

The differences between GC, FE (→EE1) and GE seem to be accidental inaccuracies. The solution we suggest in the main text is an attempt to reconstruct [A] on the basis of the discrepancies between GC and FE. The same range of the hairpin was introduced in EE2 - probably on the basis of a comparison of FE with GE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , Scope of dynamic hairpins , EE inaccuracies , Inaccuracies in GC |
