In A, the repeated octaves in the L.H. in bars 25-26, the group of four f1-b1 fourths in the R.H. in bar 26 and the groups of four identical chords in the L.H. in bars 27-29 are written in an abbreviated manner as quaver tremolos. In GE1 such a notation was preserved only in bars 25 and 29 and in FE only in bar 25. In EE and GE2, same as in the main text, all abbreviations were explained. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Abbreviated notation of A , FE revisions |

The accent over the f2 minim visible in A may be interpreted as short or long. Among the remaining versions, the text of GE1 could have come from Chopin; however, an unambiguous, comprehensive reconstruction of the course of possible corrections of first editions does not seem to be possible in this place. Taking into account the fact that each notation emphasises – in one way or another – a syncopated entrance of a new, altered chord, in the main text we leave the undoubtedly authentic notation of A (in the version with a long accent, more likely in this context). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in FE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |

The starting point of the slur is unclear in A. According to us, it is more likely that it was supposed to run from the d2 crotchet, yet the interpretation adopted in GE2 is also possible. An earlier ending of the slur in the remaining editions must be considered an inaccuracy. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

The range of the slur of A seems to be clear, in spite of this, it was not reproduced in this form in any of the editions. While an earlier beginning of the slur may be considered to be justified by a comparison with analogous bar 27, an earlier ending does not find any explanation in the notation of A and it is an example of a tendentious interpretation of slurs by the engraver of GE1, in addition, performed inaccurately, which was corrected in FE (→EE). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , FE revisions |

The slurring of A is inaccurate at the transition between the pages: the slur at the end of the page (bar 32) suggests a continuation, yet there is not any ending on a new page (bar 33).
