It is uncertain what kind of staccato marks Chopin used in A at the beginning of these bars. The sign in bar 414 seems to be a small wedge, whereas the one in 415 – rather a dot. When repeating this fragment, Chopin wrote only one mark – a dot in bar 454. According to us, one can safely assume that Chopin had one type of marks in mind. The argument for wedges is the rhythmic similarity of these bars to bars 409-410, in which the use of wedges does not raise major doubts. On the other hand, the difference in articulation between these pairs of bars seems to be justified by a harmonic difference, particularly the change of mode from major to minor. In this situation, it is both the dots and the wedges that can be considered to be corresponding to Chopin's intention. No staccato marks in GE1 (→FE→EE) must be an oversight, whereas GE2 added dots. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Wedges |

The division of the slur in GE1 is a distortion of slurring, characteristic of this edition. In any case, the absence of the slur in bar 415 in FE (→EE) suggests that the slur in bar 415 was added in GE1 only in the last phase of proofreading, as a simplified correction of a too short slur, encompassing only bar 416. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The division of the clear slur of A into 3 parts is an example of a far-reaching carelessness showed towards the Chopinesque slurring in GE1. In turn, it is unclear whether the combination of the first two of these slurs in FE (→EE) is a result of a mere inaccuracy or of a conscious decision of the engraver. GE2 includes the same slurs, which was undoubtedly done on purpose in this case – the slurring was introduced in all analogous places. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The version of GE1 is certainly erroneous and it was corrected both in FE (→EE) and in GE2. In the main text we place a cautionary category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |
