According to us, both beginning the slur only just from the 2nd beat of the bar and the gap at the transition between the bars look like accidental inaccuracies that are probably related to the layout. In FE, and most probably also in [A], the b-c1 semiquavers opening the passage are written on the bottom stave, which hampers the placement of the beginning of the slur (it was considered an inaccuracy already in EE). In turn, the division of the slur could have resulted from, e.g. the transition into a new line. In the main text, we give a slur modelled after the unequivocal slur in analogous bars 434-435. The absence of slurs in GE3 must be regarded as a mistake – it was probably an oversight or an unfinished revision. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Errors in GE |

A comparison with all analogous passages (bars 410, 414 and 434) suggests that the notation of the majority of the sources is erroneous in this case – the engraver of FE could have relied on the pairs of notes in bar 440 and further. On the other hand, due to the 1st finger crossing under just after a1(2), the source notation is more justified in terms of piano performance in this bar than in the remaining ones. In spite of that, it seems to be highly unlikely that Chopin would have wanted this notation to be applied in the previous bars. In this situation, in the main text we suggest a notation compliant with analogous places, since differentiating the notation could unnecessarily suggest a different performance. Such a unification was introduced already in GE3. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |

As in the case of bar 431, the staccato dot is almost certainly an inaccuracy of notation, which was noticed already in EE and GE3. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Wedges |
