Differently than in analogous bars 161-166 and 168, in GE both slurs begin from the 2nd quaver in the group. It is almost certainly a result of proofreading – probably a Chopin one – since the slurs of A, particularly the second one, are exceptionally inaccurate here. The difference in slurring was not included in FE (→EE), which may be explained by distraction or a unifying revision. It is also possible that the slurs in GE1 were changed in the last phase of proofreading, already after the copies had been sent to Paris. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE , FE revisions |

The astonishingly precise slurs of GE were most probably proofread by Chopin. It is indicated by minor traces of corrections and by the version of FE, which probably reflects the state prior to the proofreading.

The staccato dots over the e notes in GE are almost certainly a result of a Chopin proofreading, presumably in the last stage of corrections. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE |

In A there is neither a raising d2 to d2 in the marked place nor a restoring d2 five semiquavers later. Corresponding signs are in the parts of oboes and clarinets in Morch, which confirms an imposing suspicion of Chopin's mistake. The signs were added already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2), in which one could see the composer's proofreading. In the main text we also add a cautionary before b1; it is also in GE2. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Omission of current key accidentals , Authentic corrections of GE |

In this case, it is difficult to consider the slurs of GE (→FE→EE), contrary to the unambiguous slur of A, to be a schematic distortion, typical for GE1, since they correspond to the motifs of which the phrase is built, and not to the metric units. However, a possible proofreading by Chopin is uncertain, since there are no traces of corrections in any of the few studied copies of GE1 and GE1a. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE |
