The absence of in FE (→EE) must be considered an inaccuracy of notation. Most likely, it is a non-corrected oversight of the engraver, although one cannot entirely exclude the possibility that the sign was added by Chopin in GC. In turn, no in GE1 is a patent oversight.

According to us, out of two sources based directly on [A] – GC and FE – it is the copy that may convey a more accurate representation of this place in the autograph, since the text in FE is too tightly packed. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Scope of dynamic hairpins , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

In GC the bars are separated with a double bar line, which is probably an arbitrary change introduced by the copyist (Chopin would rarely insert double bar lines, while changing the tempo or key, however, it was a commonly used practice). In GE the double bar line was arbitrarily changed to a repeat sign. It is not certain whether it is a revision or a mistake caused by a misinterpretation of the manuscript. The change, depriving the repetition of the exposition of its opening motif, was adopted in EE2 and in a vast majority of subsequent collective editions. In the main text we give a single line of FE (→EE1), which almost certainly corresponds to the notation of [A]. One can consider an addition of a slur in the L.H. in this place in the proofreading of FE3 to be another argument confirming the correctness of the text of FE – if Chopin had wanted to omit Grave at the repetition, he would have most probably noticed the absence of a repeat sign, necessary in this situation. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Changed phrase length |

The f-b-d1 chord in GE1 is certainly an engraver's error. Moreover, the mistake changed the meaning of the slur which became a tie to f. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in GE , Terzverschreibung error , GE revisions |

In GE1 there are no markings in this bar – probably a result of the engraver's distraction. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , No pedal release mark |
