The missing dot extending the crotchet in the metronome marking in the editions is most probably a mistake. The dot is also imperceptible on the photo of FED, which – provided it is a faithful reflection of the situation – is also an inaccuracy. The slightly calmer tempo indicated by Chopin in FED could have been a teaching comment directed to Miss O'Méara only, hence it cannot be considered a proof of modification of the tempo concept of Andante. Therefore, in the main text we suggest a variant solution. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Errors in FE , Annotations in FED |

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

In the main text we include the fingering digit, coming from Chopin, entered into FED. There are similar situations in the further course of Andante, in b. 17, 27, 29, 36 and 41. At the end of the bar in FED one can see a vague diagonal line: it could have been, e.g. a mark separating e2 from f category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources |

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

We reproduce the accents in b. 8, 11 and 16 as long ones, although the marks in FE cannot be unequivocally classified as long or short accents (however, they are clearly longer than the accents in b. 52 or 55-62). Long accents are strongly supported by the musical context: the accentuated e3 in b. 8 is the longest and top-most note of the 8-bar phrase, while the syncopated c3 in b. 11 is a similar type of climax of the final melodic section of this phrase. We encounter a similar problem in the evaluation of the accents in GE1: it is only the clearly shorter marks in b. 52 (as well as a greater number thereof in the Polonaise) that convince us to consider them long. The marks in EE and GE2 (→GE3) must be short. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , EE inaccuracies |

It is unclear how the difference between FE and EE occurred. The shape of the slur in FE indicates its possible proofreading, yet there are no visible traces that would allow us to guess the original version. It could have been the longer slur of EE; however, it is likely that the slur of EE is unrelated to the proofreading of FE and is a result of a mistake or revision. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE inaccuracies , Authentic corrections of FE |
