According to us, the tie of b3 is a result of a mistake of the engraver of FE (→EE). It would be difficult to assume that Chopin would have liked to deprive this figure of its initial fourth that is key for capturing the relationship to the antithetic figure, beginning with a fifth, in the preceding bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Authentic corrections of FE |

Shortened accents are a very frequent inaccuracy of GE, whereas the omission of the sign in FE is a patent mistake, revised then in EE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in GE |

According to us, all omitted and shortened accents in GE and FE are random inaccuracies. Moving the accents closer to is a completely arbitrary revision of EE, unifying all these bars with the notation of analogous bars 29-32 (also erroneous) – see bars 369-375. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Errors in FE , Errors in GE |

The clear wedge written in A was reproduced in GE as a dot. In FE the sign is copied so inaccurately that it cannot be considered a staccato dot; this explains its absence in EE. A possible removal of the dot in FE by Chopin, which could have left such a trace, should be excluded, according to us. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in GE , Wedges |

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 |
