Placing the accent over the second of the last group of semiquavers in GE1 (→FE) may be considered a common mistake, if it were not for the fact that putting an accent exactly on f1 emphasises the second motif (in this case g1-f1), repeated then – and accented – in all further appearances of a similar figuration (bars 230, 234, 236, 238 and 240). It would implicate Chopin's proofreading and perhaps even a mistake of the composer in A. However, a mistake of the engraver is supported by lack of traces of removal of the accent and a high likelihood that Chopin cared more for the rhythmic rather than for the melodic motif. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |

The a note written in A (the 11th semiquaver) is most probably Chopin's mistake (the so-called Terzverschreibung error). The note was corrected to f already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2) and it is highly likely that it was performed by Chopin himself. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Terzverschreibung error , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of GE |

The cautionary natural before G, the 1st semiquaver in the L.H., was added in the proofreading of GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2). According to us, this random addition could have been performed at Chopin's request. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE |

The traces of corrections, visible in GE1, prove that the slurs were initially divided on the bar line, which means that bars 254-256 were embraced – contrary to the clear notation of A – with three whole-bar slurs. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Authentic corrections of GE , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |

The absence of three out of four slurs under the motifs in the L.H. in A must be considered Chopin's neglect (the slurs are still present in bars 261-262). Therefore, in the main text we include the slurs added in GE (→FE→EE), although it is not absolutely certain whether it was Chopin's proofreading.
