Slur to semiquaver in A, EE & GE2

Slur to quaver in GE1 (→FE)

..

The inaccurate, too long slur of GE1 was misinterpreted in FE as clearly reaching the cquaver. The mistake was not repeated either in EE or in GE2.

Slurs from 2nd quaver in A, EE & GE2

Slurs from 1st quaver in GE1

Different slurs in FE

..

The slurs in A begin from the 2nd quaver of half-bar figures. The first, discussed separately, could be considered to be unclear, yet other slurs in similar figures do not leave any doubt about Chopin's intention. In spite of this, in GE1 each of the slurs embraces a half of the bar. Shortening the 1st slur in FE is probably only an inaccuracy; however, it could have encouraged the engraver of EE to shorten the 2nd slur too. The slurs compatible with A were introduced also in GE2.

2 staccato dots in A & EE

No marks in GE1 (→FE)

1 dot in GE2

..

The missing dots in GE1 (→FE) is certainly an oversight. The signs were added in EE, probably by analogy (see also the adjacent note). The absence of the 2nd dot in GE2 is also a patent mistake.

No slurs in A (→GEFE)

L.H. slurs in EE

..

The slurs in EE is undoubtedly an addition of the revision on the basis of a comparison with similar figures, e.g. in the previous bar. However, an accidental omission of the slurs in A cannot be excluded, yet we do not add them in the main text, since in the  dynamics accents within the three-quaver groups may suggest a different grouping or articulation.

Semiquaver in A & GE2

Demisemiquaver in GE1 (→FEEE1EE2)

Demisemiquaver in EE3

..

The rhythmic notation of the majority of the sources is incorrect, since the group has only 8½ semiquavers. Therefore, it is most probably a mistake of the engraver who, presumably, added a beam almost "automatically" (in similar situations it is the figures in which the note after the rest is shorter than the previous that appear more frequently). Cf. a similar situation in bar 81. The mistake was revised in GE2 after A and arbitrarily in EE3 (the latter is still erroneous, since the group has, contrary to the indication, only 8 semiquavers).
