The missing slurs in A is a typical oversight of Chopin, related to the transition into a new page. GE1 (→FE→EE) added only the bottom slur, which, taking into account the double slurs in the adjacent bars, seems to be a simplified correction (or revision). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of GE |

In A (→GE1→FE) there are no sharps next to the top notes of the octaves on the 2nd beat of each of these bars. The patent inaccuracy was rectified in EE and GE2. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |

These bars fill an entire page of A. On the previous page, Chopin wrote cresc. in bar 469 and marked its range with dashes until the end of the page (bar 474). The dashes appear then on the next page, from bar 481, yet there is no mark to which they could refer. It proves Chopin's mistake – either a new mark was supposed to be written in bars 475-480 or the composer forgot to write dashes extending cresc. from bar 469 in these bars. The latter seems to be much more likely, since the discussed bars continue the regular ascending progression, which started together with cresc. in bar 469. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Editorial revisions issues: Errors of A |

Chopin hesitated about the pitch of the last quaver. It is already the crossings-out in A that prove that the decision was changed twice – Chopin started with g2, changed it to d2, to return to g2. GE features a g2, however, in the proofreading of FE (→EE), Chopin changed it again to d2. It is the latest version that we give in the main text; yet both versions may be considered to be equal. It is interesting that there are no traces of similar hesitations to be found in an analogous situation, as far as the sound is concerned, 4 bars earlier. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Corrections in A , Chopin's hesitations , Authentic corrections of FE |
