Interpretation of three accents written in A at the beginning of the bar is problematic, which could have been the reason they were omitted in GE1 (→FE→EE). In the main text we suggest a solution in which the first two signs are reproduced without changes and the third is interpreted as diminuendo, which, undoubtedly, is required here between the accent at the beginning of the bar, which ends the two-bar crescendo, and the after the last trill. In GE2 only one accent was reproduced, corresponding to the first two in the notation of A. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The missing slur in GE1 (→FE→EE) is certainly an oversight, completed in GE2 after A. The same slur was added in GE2 also in the L.H. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The missing staccato dot over b2 is almost certainly a result of inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |

The presence of a staccato dot also over the 1st semiquaver in the editions is, according to us, a result of inattention of the engraver of GE1 or of his belief that the notation of A was performed carelessly. In both previous appearances of this phrase, the move after the syncopation of a2 is resumed on one of the weakest beats of the bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |

The version of the editions may be a result of Chopin's proofreading in GE1 (cf. the 1st mov., bar 87). According to us, it is a mistake of the engraver that is more likely in this situation – a comparison of three analogous bars (bars 8, 27 and 76) suggests that Chopin gradually differentiated the rhythmic aspect, without changing the melodic scheme, in which the g2 note appears only in the end of the bar. The version with the g2 grace note, meanwhile, does not add anything with respect to rhythm; in turn, it interferes with the melodic scheme through the premature appearance of g2. Due to this reason, in the main text we leave the version of A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Authentic corrections of GE |
