The change of the font of accents is a characteristic inaccuracy of first editions. In this case, it is the correct interpretation of Chopin's intention in GE1 that is more puzzling, since the first two signs in A are clearly longer than the remaining two and one could expect they would have been reproduced as a category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

Bar 100 is the last one on the page of A and, as it often happens, the slurs at the transition between the pages are written inaccurately. The slur in bar 100 reaches far beyond the notes, suggesting its continuation, yet in bar 101 there is no possible ending of this slur. Therefore, the versions of the editions in which the slur ends together with the last note in bar 100 may be considered to be justified. However, the logic of the musical course suggests that it is the missing ending of the slur in bar 101 that is inaccurate and not the overextended ending of the slur in bar 100 – cf. e.g. an analogous situations 4 bars further. Starting the slur in bar 101 from the beginning of the bar is a typical inaccuracy of GE1 (→FE→EE), corrected in GE2. (The slur of GE1 bears traces of corrections in print – one can see it was initially divided into a few parts. However, it does not mean that Chopin wanted to move the beginning of the slur – the aim of the proofreading was undoubtedly to combine the illogical fragments.) category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |

It is difficult to explain the difference in approach to long accents between bars 99 and 100, since in A the signs in bar 100 are not longer than the previous ones at all. Perhaps they key to solving the puzzle is the overlooked third accent: if initially GE1 overlooked all accents in this bar, Chopin, while proofreading the edition, could have added the first two, which, this time, were incorrectly reproduced as category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in GE , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies |

Due to practical reasons, we conventionally divided the fingering in the L.H. written in FED into two parts. In one group we gathered the fingering that, according to us, does not have an equivalent alternative. The second group includes the fingering of these figures that may also be performed with different fingers. Similarly in the case of the fingering in the R.H. category imprint: Differences between sources |
