It is hard to assume whether the missing accent in FE (→EE) is one of the results of the Chopin proofreading on the 3rd beat of the bar, or whether it is only its unintended side effect or simply an oversight of the engraver. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

In the main text we give the version of FE (→EE1), proofread by Chopin. The version of A (→GE) may be used as a variant for a smaller hand. EE2 (→EE3) introduced the earlier version, most probably on the basis of comparison with GE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

The roulade ending this bar has two basic versions in the sources:
The second was undoubtedly introduced on Chopin's request, however, its notation raises certain doubts – the g2 note added in the proofreading is preceded with a (cautionary?), being totally unjustified in this context (e.g. both in analogous bars 13 and 32 and in the discussed bar the top most note of this figure, g3, is written without a ). Therefore, one could wonder whether a Terzverschreibung error could have been committed here and whether the intended note could have been an e2, which naturally develops the melodic line of this figure after the e1 semiquaver. We suggest this possibility as an alternative interpretation of the Chopin proofreading of FE. Differences in the notation of the rhythm of the figure's ending – see the last note in this bar – cause that two slightly differing rhythmic schemes can be ascribed to each of the versions of the roulade discussed above. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations issues: Terzverschreibung error , Cautionary accidentals , Authentic corrections of FE |

Both authentic notations of the ornament – A and FE (→EE) – mean the same performance. The mistake of GE1 originated from an unrecognised arpeggio sign in the vertical slur, which, at that period of Chopin's life, would increasingly replace the more accurately written signs in the form of a wavy line. The way the slur was added in GE2 caused that the proper sense of the Chopin notation was still not conveyed in this edition. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |
