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.

Slur in A

Slur in GE1 (→FE)

Slur in EE

Slur in GE2

..

Both versions of the slur, appearing in the editions, are almost certainly inauthentic. The version of GE1 (→FE) is most probably simply inaccurate, similarly the version of EE. In turn, in GE2 it is probably an attempt to reinterpret the notation of A while taking into account the Chopin notation of analogous bars 14 and 82.

Slur from 2nd quaver in A & GE2

Slur from 1st quaver in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

Although the beginning of the slur in A from the 2nd quaver remains beyond any doubt, in GE1 (→FEEE) it was erroneously reproduced as a whole-bar slur. The notation compatible with A was restored 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.

Long accent in A

Short accent in GE1

No mark in FE (→EE)

Short accent in GE2

..

The sign of an accent in GE1 is doubly inaccurate: short and placed after the chord it concerns in the very legible notation of A. Overlooked in FE (→EE), it was moved to the right place in GE2 (without changes in shape).
