Eight staccato signs on the first crotchets in these bars (in both hands) are clearly wedges in A (only the sign in the L.H. in bar 30 could be considered a dot, in another context). In spite of this, the editions reproduced them as dots, which is a simplification characteristic of the engraver of GE1, uncorrected in any of the remaining editions. The absence of the sign in the R.H. in bar 31 is a patent oversight of GE1 (→FE→EE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in GE , Wedges |

The notation of accents in A is clear and unambiguous – four long accents on the 3rd beat of each of the bars. In spite of this, the editions did not faithfully reproduce both the placement and the length of the signs. All changes in GE1 and FE are undoubtedly of an accidental nature, which, with a tightly packed text, leads to confusion and impedes the interpretation and reproduction of their notation.

The simplified notation of A, in which the dyads of the orchestral accompaniment of the solo part are separated only by a smaller font, confused the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE), who, not having noticed the difference in the size of the notes, engraved entire chords in a normal font. In FE in bars 374-376, not only did Chopin correct this mistake, but he also differentiate between the solo part and the accompaniment in a clearer manner. We employ the latter, being the latest and constituting a significant improvement, also here. A text of the solo part compliant with Chopin's intention appeared in print for the first time in the National Edition. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Omitted correction of an analogous place |

In the main text we give the slur of A (→GE). Due to the careless work of the engravers, the slurs in FE and EE are certainly erroneous. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , EE inaccuracies |
