In A both c3-f3 fourths were provided with wedges, which, however, may be problematic at the time of interpreting them. The mark in bar 458 looks like a dot, whereas the one in bar 459 like a crotchet stem of the top note pointing upwards. This is how they were interpreted in GE1 (→FE→EE), as a result of which there is no staccato mark in bar 459. In GE2, the dot was preserved in bar 458, yet no staccato mark was added in bar 459, in spite of removing the unnecessary division of the fourth into voices. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in GE , Wedges |

Both slurs in these bars are written in A inaccurately – their endings do not reach the crotchets in bars 459 and 461, although they point to them quite clearly. A comparison with analogous bars proves that they are almost certainly to be interpreted considering not only their position in relation to the bar lines. GE1 (→FE→EE) interpreted only the second of them in this way; moreover, both start from the 1st beat in bars 458 and 459, which is a mistake. The division of the slur in bar 460 is an arbitrary change introduced in GE2 (just like in the three previous analogous places). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

The slur in the R.H. starting in bar 462 reaches only the last note in this bar in A. It is almost certainly a trace of the original notation, which is supported by an extension of the slur in an analogous situation one bar earlier. Chopin's oversight was corrected already in GE1, most probably by the composer himself. At the same time, the visible traces of corrections in print prove that it was different slurs than in A that were subject to proofreading – it is likely that initially each of bars 461-464 was encompassed with a separate, whole-bar slur (bar 462 certainly was). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE , Omitted correction of an analogous place , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |

The missing mark in A (→GE) is most probably an inaccuracy, resulting from the transition into a new page. Prior to this place, Chopin wrote a respective sign in an analogous situation three times (bars 414, 422 and 454). The omission of the mark in FE (→EE) is most probably an oversight. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , No pedal release mark , Inaccuracies in A |

Just like in bars 422-423, the flats lowering e3 to e3 and the cautionary before e2 in the L.H. in bar 463 prove that the version of A (→GE→FE1), interpreted literally, is erroneous. In EE, a respective is only in bar 463 (together with a before e2), which is probably a result of an oversight of the sign in bar 462. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in EE , Cautionary accidentals , Omission of current key accidentals , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE |
