Quavers in A & GE2

Semiquavers in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The change of the beam of the group of grace notes is probably an arbitrary decision of the engraver of GE1 (→FEEE): cf. analogous bar 26 and bar 75.

In A the presence of staccato dots over the bass notes in all figures of this type, both whole-bar (bars 7-8) and half-bar (bars 9-13, 15 and 17) is beyond any doubts, although one is missing (the second in bar 9, over B) and two other are placed over the notes that were deleted in the original version (the first in bars 10 and 15). In GE1 (→FE) the majority of them were omitted (only the dots in bars 8, 11-12 and 17 remained). EE and GE2 include versions close to the main text: in EE only the first dot in bar 13 is missing, while in GE2 – the one in bar 15.

Rhythm in A & EE3, contextual interpretation

Rhythm in GE1 (→FEEE1EE2), contextual interpretation, & GE2

..

In the part of the R.H. it is only GE2 that does not contain a rhythmic error. The version, however, resulted from a revision and it certainly does not correspond to Chopin's intention. For the remaining sources (except for EE3), we adopt an interpretation compatible with the way the R.H. is planned with respect to the quavers in the L.H. As the text of EE3 we adopt the rhythm that, according to us, predominates at the time of interpreting the easiest perceptible elements of the rhythm: a crotchet, an extended crotchet and a group of semiquavers with a triplet inside.

Slurs from 2nd quaver in A & GE2

Different slurs in GE1

Slurs from 1. quaver in FE (→EE)

..

The slurs of A in bars 9-11 and 17 (the first), although some of them are written inaccurately (e.g., in bar 9), begin from the 2nd quaver of each half of the bar. In GE1 it is only the slurs in bar 11 that were reproduced in such a way. In FE (→EE) it is the only correct slurs that were considered inaccurate, leading all signs from the 1st quaver. The slurs of A were interpreted correctly only in GE2.

In A (→GE1FE) there is no  lowering f to f. Chopin's patent oversight was corrected in EE and GE2.
