The tie of c1, written in A in accordance with Chopin's habit as a short curved line before the second of the sustained notes, was reproduced accurately in GE1. However, the notation is illegible in print, hence most probably Chopin added a second longer curved line in the proofreading. The notation, which should be clear for anyone who saw A, turned out to be incomprehensible both for the engraver of FE (→EE) and – surprisingly – for the reviser of GE2. As a consequence, despite two ties, the c1 note is not sustained in those editions. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |

The notation of the harmonic legato (holding elements of chords with fingers), very detailed in A, was reproduced in the editions inaccurately. A fragment of the stem combining the notes of the a-c1 third was not included and the stem extending the first f1 was overlooked. As far as the mentioned third is concerned, the notation of A may be theoretically interpreted twofold: with a c1 crotchet or with an a-c1 crotchet. In this context, it is, however, clear that the a bass note is also to be extended. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

The slur of A, although it ends slightly earlier, is certainly supposed to embrace the entire semiquaver figuration in the L.H. in this bar and this is how it was reproduced in GE2. The division of the slur in GE1 may be a facilitation used by the engraver (in order to avoid a long slur of an atypical shape) or a proofreading, if initially it was only the bottom slur that was printed. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

Chopin precisely added accidentals in this bar, together with cautionary naturals before a1 (twice – in the R.H. in the marked place and in the L.H. at the end of the bar) and g2. The first of them seems to be superfluous in this place and it was removed already in GE2.
