..

In A there is no  restoring a. This patent mistake – cf. analogous bar 130 – remained unnoticed by Chopin both during the proofreading and lessons. Revisers of the editions also did not notice it.

Slurs in A & GE2

Slurs in GE1

Slur in FE (→EE)
..

In the main text we give the slurs of A (and GE2), certainly the only authentic ones – cf. the corresponding place in the exposition, with identical slurs in all sources. The slurs of GE1 are inaccurate here, whereas in FE (→EE) the first of them was omitted on top of that.

Long accent in A (→GE)

No mark in FE

Vertical accent in EE
..

In FE the accent over the d2 minim was overlooked. The accent was added in EE – in the form of a vertical sign – probably on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 133.

2 long accents in A

Short accent in GE1 & EE1

No marks in FE

2 short accents in GE2 & EE2 (→EE3)
..

In the main text we give the long accents of A. In the editions they were reproduced inaccurately as short ones. The differences in the number of accents are a result of oversights and revisions.
