In the absence of [A], it is difficult to determine whether the curved line over the g notes in FE (→GE,EE) is a tie sustaining those notes or a motivic slur (in Chopin's autographs, the differentiation is possible due to the shape of the curved lines). According to us, it is a motivic slur that is more likely here. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , EE inaccuracies , Tie or slur |

In all sources, 3 subsequent accents in bars 5-6 are short. We consider it to be an inaccuracy of the engraver and suggest long accents in the main text:

The con forza indication must apply to the R.H., since the L.H. dynamics was defined already in bar 13. The fact that it was placed between the staves could have been forced by extra-musical issues – in FE, there is simply no space above the R.H. part. If the indication was present in [A] above the R.H., Chopin did not have to take care of its precise placement. Due to this reason, in the main text we place the indication above the beginning of the phrase it applies to. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , EE inaccuracies |

In FE (→EE), the dashes marking the range of crescendo are present only in bar 25. It must be an inaccuracy, most probably caused by the transition into a new line – marking the range of cresc. on such a short section would not make sense. That conclusion is confirmed by analogous bars 29-30, in which the dashes are led until . In GE, the markings were completely omitted in both analogous places. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies |

In such contexts, we encounter both short and long accents in Chopin's pieces. Therefore, it is difficult to determine without autograph which ones Chopin meant in this bar. In the main text, we preserve the notation of the principal source, i.e. FE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE inaccuracies |
