The fingering digit, written with a quill pen most probably by a pupil, was probably added in place of an entry written in pencil by Chopin. category imprint: Differences between sources |

It is difficult to state whether the omission of the minim sixth at the beginning of the bar is a mistake of the engraver or a result of Chopin's proofreading. According to us, the spread chord beginning the solo part constitutes a sufficient sound equivalent for the played chord ending the orchestra's introduction (cf. the compatible version of bar 96), which may be an argument for an intentional removal of this sixth (it cannot be excluded that, even if the engraver omitted this sixth accidentally, Chopin accepted this version). Whereas the chord of the strings in the version with orchestra is only a background for the entrance of the soloist, playing a sixth in the version for one piano diverts attention from the beginning of the solo part to a certain extent. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE |

All source notations of the 2nd half of the bar are erroneous or unclear, however, none of them can be corrected in a way that would not be questioned.
In this situation, we base the main text on the version of A which, in spite of its inaccuracies, seems to be the most reliable, as far as the authenticity is concerned. Out of two natural possibilities of correcting the mistake (changing two demisemiquavers to hemidemisemiquavers or deleting one of the dots extending the e1 quaver) we choose the second, giving a smoother development of the figuration introducing the main theme. We suggest a modified version of FE as an alternative version. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in GE , Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE |

The change of the range of the sign is certainly an inaccuracy of GE (→FE→EE). In A one can see that Chopin deleted the hairpin written over the part of the R.H., having the same range as in the editions. The new sign was written under the group of demisemiquavers introducing the theme and led further on, to the e3 minim. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Corrections in A |
