GE1 (→FE) include two whole-bar slurs in bars 451-452, which is a typical distortion of the slurring of A. However, since an ending of the slur was printed at the beginning of bar 453 (in a new line), we assume that the slur from bar 452 reaches – in accordance with A – the 1st crotchet in bar 453. This is how it was reproduced in EE. In GE2 an arbitrary division of the slur before the 2nd beat in bar 452 was applied, same as in all the remaining analogous bars. In the main text we give the slur of A, the only undoubtedly authentic one. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The whole-bar slurs in the L.H. in bars 453-454 and 461-462 is a typical inaccuracy of GE1 (→FE→EE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

The crossings-out and corrections in the part of the L.H. in A make it uncertain whether Chopin wanted to accentuate the minims on the 2nd beat of these bars. An accent is present only in bar 453; moreover, it is placed below a crossed-out minim. However, in analogous bars 461-462, Chopin undoubtedly preserved both accents, in spite of similar corrections. We consider the absence of the mark in bar 454 to be an oversight, hence in the main text we give the version with two accents. The editions did not include the mark in bar 453, which can be regarded as a less likely solution, yet acceptable. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors resulting from corrections |

The notation of the three subsequent accents is unambiguous in A – they are 3 long accents. In spite of this, GE reproduced them as short accents, whereas in FE (→EE) the third of them was overlooked. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in GE |
3 are provided with separate stems pointing upwards. This detail was not reproduced in any of the editions, we omit it in our transcriptions, too. Chopin generally had a practical, pianistic approach and would separate the voices only when they moved in different rhythm – cf. the notation of all the remaining crotchets ending this kind of triplet sequences (bars 410-411, 413-415 and analog.); therefore, this strict, "score-like" notation applied in this place is rather an exception.
