The accent over the trill in A is clearly shorter than long accents at the beginning and end of this bar. However, long accents in the next bars already do not contrast so expressly with the discussed sign, hence we consider its interpretation as a long accent to be most likely. The missing accent in GE1 (→FE→EE) is certainly an oversight. The sign was added in GE2 (as a short accent). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The slur written in A over the group of 15 demisemiquavers was, according to Chopin's intention, certainly supposed to embrace the entire group, which, as far as the right end is concerned, was interpreted in this way in GE (→FE→EE). In turn, the fact of initiating it already from the previous semiquaver, as it is in GE (→FE), is certainly a mistake. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A |

The musical sense obliges us to consider three accents at the beginning of subsequent halves of bars in A to be signs of one type. Since the first and third are undoubtedly long, we interpret the third, smaller sign, to be also long (cf. short accents in bars 32-33). In the editions all three signs were reproduced as short. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

The slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE) could have been added by Chopin. However, taking into account the fact that some of additions of slurs in GE1 are questionable, as far as Chopin's participation in their addition is concerned, in the main text we consistently leave the version of A (cf. bars 29-31). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of GE |

It is hard to understand what the rationale of the engraver of GE1 was when he was drawing slurs so dissimilar to the notation of A. It may be that the slur beginning over the trill in bar 31 was added in the last stage of proofreading as an ad hoc, simplified correction: it is absent in FE (→EE1; in later EE the slur was added). This time, GE2 did not restore the slurs of A; it only removed the slur above the sextuplet. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |
