The slur of FE (→GE,EE) must be inaccurate, which could have been provoked by a too spaciously drawn slur of [A]. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE |

In FE (→EE), leading the slur until the f2 semiquaver, from which, at the same time, a new slur begins, is probably an inaccuracy – Chopin did not encompass the entire phrase with one slur, as he did two bars later, hence it is difficult to asume that he would have wanted to obliterate a natural division of the phrase, marked by a temporary interruption of the semiquaver movement. Therefore, in the main text we include the shortening of the slur introduced in GE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major
..
In bars 44, 46 and 48-49, each of the semiquaver groups separated with beams (or ended with a quaver) is provided in the sources with a slur that begins either from the second or the first note, which is significantly less frequent. The differences are definitely of a random nature; we consider the slurs running from the 1st note to be corresponding to Chopin's intention, since they are more natural in terms of both musical and pianistic issues. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies |

b. 48-49

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major
..
In the main text, we adjust the semiquaver beam of the figure at the transition between bars 48-49 to the remaining, analogous figures. It is likely that breaking it into two beams was a simplifying solution of the engraver of FE, applied to avoid beams passing from one great stave to another. Chopin would often use beams going beyond a bar, e.g. in the L.H. part in bars 52-54 and analog. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , EE inaccuracies |

A wedge instead of a staccato dot over the bass f is probably an inaccuracy of FE (→EE), since the vast majority of analogous places include a dot (cf. bars 63, 79, 231, 363, 372). Other bass notes in this section of the Rondo are also provided with dots. GE include a dot, yet it is a result of an arbitrary, routine change of all wedges to dots. There is a similar situation in bar 223. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |
