In A the quaver flag is missing in the 3rd quaver of the bar. Chopin's obvious mistake was corrected in GE (→FE→EE). It might have been noticed by Chopin himself, but it is more probable that it was the reviewer of GE that made the correction category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Rhythmic errors , Errors of A |

The dynamic mark in A resembles a long accent. Yet, taking into account the marking of an analogous phrase two bars earlier, it can be considered diminuendo hairpins, and was interpreted as such in GE (→FE→EE). Anyway, the difference between the two interpretations is more academic than practical, both from the graphic and the performance-related point of view. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness issues: Long accents , Unclear hairpins in A |

The shape of the accent in A makes it resemble a short accent (a relatively wide angle between the arms), but it has the size of a long accent. The syncopated longer rhythmic value of the accented note makes us believe it was meant to be a long accent, yet the editions have a short accent here. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |
