Ending the slur before the last note of this passage in unison is certainly an inaccuracy. Both changes to which the slur of A was subject in GE1 are deformations typical of the engraver of this edition – dividing a long slur and adjusting it to metric structures. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

In A, Chopin marked staccato only over the part of the R.H., which is undoubtedly valid for both hands in the context of this texture. In GE1 (→FE→EE), dots were printed only in bar 142, moved to the side of note heads (very frequent, routine intervention of engravers), and they were also added under the L.H. Oversight of the dots in bar 141 and 143-144 certainly stems from the engraver's carelessness, whereas addition of signs for the L.H. could have been ordered by Chopin. GE2 added the overlooked dots – in both hands – in bars 143-144. In the main text we present a similar solution, including signs on the last crotchet in bar 141. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Placement of markings , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |

In the entire section, Chopin wrote only one slur in the part of the L.H. in A, in bar 146. The fact that he then resigned from repeating the slurs written in the R.H. is proved by the notation of bar 160, opening a new page in A: in the part of the L.H. one can see there a deletion of a slur reaching the a minim and suggesting continuation from the previous bar. Therefore, the decision to add slurs, which were introduced in the entire section in EE (apart from bar 157) and GE2, was arbitrary, and it almost certainly does not correspond to Chopin's intention. Moreover, the added slurs differ between EE and GE2, since each of them copied the slurs of the R.H., which in EE generally correspond to the slurs of GE1, whereas in GE2 – to the slurs of A (cf. bars 152, 156, 157-158 and 159). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

Combining the slur beginning in bar 146 with the next one is a patent mistake of GE1 (→FE→EE). It is one of many examples of flagrant ignorance of the notation of A, since the slurs in the manuscript are unambiguous. The correct slurs were restored in GE2. In FE (→EE), the mistake of GE1 was complemented with an inaccurate beginning of the slur in bar 146, which, next to the oversight of a staccato sign in this bar, completely distorted the vision of phrasing of the beginning of this bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

..
The staccato signs at the beginning of bars 146 and 148 are written in A inconsistently – in bar 146 the sign is only in the R.H., whereas in bar 148 – in both. The kind of the employed sign in bar 146 can also raise doubts, yet clear wedges in bar 148 speak in favour of a wedge. We add a fourth wedge (bar 146, L.H.) in the main text, since Chopin wrote staccato signs in similar situations in bars 150, 154 and 156 in the parts of both hands. No signs in bar 146 is certainly a mistake of GE1 (→FE→EE), whereas the interpretation of all employed signs as dots must be an inaccuracy of the editions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Wedges |
