The moment of the slur's beginning in A is not entirely clear – the sign may be understood as a part of the portato indication (together with dots) for five semiquavers played on the 2nd beat of the bar; however, one can also see here a rhythmic mark (having implications for the phrasing) over the entire sextuplet. According to us, the first possibility is more likely here and this is the version we give in the main text. The editions adopted the second version, which was certainly influenced by the routine approach of the engraver of GE1 – see the adjacent note on staccato dots. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

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.

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 |

Chopin did not write digits specifying the number and structure of the groups of six semiquavers in bars 76 and 80. We suggest a [6] to facilitate the reading. Additions were made also in GE2 – a '6' in bar 76 and two '3's in bar 80 (as well as a '3' at the beginning of bar 80). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |
