The articulation markings – slurs and dots – added in EE and GE2 are inauthentic. Each of these editions repeated the markings used in the R.H. in the part of the L.H. (in EE it was performed inaccurately, since the dots in bar 387 were overlooked). In the case of GE2, compliance of this addition with Chopin's intention cannot be entirely excluded – see bars 376-377. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

It is difficult to say whether the division of the slur in FE (→EE) is a consequence of a mistake of the engraver of FE or whether the slurs were corrected in GE1 in the last phase of proofreading, already after having sent the copies to Paris. In the main text we give the only authentic version of A (→GE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Authentic corrections of GE |

In GE1 (→FE→EE), a two-bar slur, devoid of musical sense, was printed in bars 392-393 instead of the slur of A, encompassing the motif of flutes and clarinets. The mistake was corrected in GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

According to us, the slur of A ending in bar 396 is inaccurate – see bars 52-53 – hence in the main text we lead it to the beginning of the next bar, in accordance with the slurs of flute I and clarinet in Morch. The authenticity of the slur added in GE (→FE→EE) in bars 397-398 is also questionable – its beginning is contrary to the phrasing that naturally follows from the instrumentation. Therefore, we do not include this slur in the main text. However, taking into account a possibility of a Chopinesque proofreading of GE1 in this place, we suggest a slur started a crotchet later as an alternative solution – the Chopinesque entry could have been misinterpreted by the engraver. category imprint: Differences between sources |

The slur of A clearly refers to the top voice, hence assigning it in the editions to the bass voice is almost certainly erroneous. However, the notation of A is inaccurate, as far as the range of the slur is concerned, since it does not go beyond bar 396, contrary to the unambiguous slurring of the part of bassoon I (and of the remaining instruments), also in analogous bars 52-53. Therefore, in the main text we interpret this slur as leading to f1. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A |
