The slur of Atut, originally encompassing only 4 quavers (like in the following bars), was probably prolonged. According to us, it is, however, uncertain whether the short, zig-zag line was added on purpose – a trace after an unintended touch of the quill could have looked like that. It is also possible that Chopin wanted to prolong this slur, yet he hesitated at the time of writing it and eventually renounced longer slurs – none of the following slurs over similar motifs was prolonged. We are convinced that all motifs in bars 39-44 should be performed in a similar manner; therefore, in the main text, we suggest a non-prolonged slur. Such a solution was adopted also in GE3, probably on the basis of comparison with the following bars. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

In Atut, there are no sharps next to the bottom notes of the octaves on the 2nd beat of bars 41 and 44. These patent inaccuracies were corrected in FE (→GE,EE). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Accidentals in different octaves , FE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |

The g1 (in the 1st quaver) and g2 (in the second one) notes were added in the proofreading of FE (→#GE,EE), most probably by Chopin. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

In Atut, the fact of beginning the slur from the 2nd semiquaver, although it was then repeated in bar 47, seems to be an inaccuracy of notation. Such a notation would suggest that the 1st semiquaver of the tremolando should be separated, as far as the articulation is concerned, which is inconvenient from the pianistic point of view. Due to this reason, in the main text we give the interpretation adopted in FE (→GE,EE). In turn, the literal interpretation of Atut has its perks if we consider the slur to be a phrase mark – it graphically underlines the motif of the top voice, b2-a category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |
was added before the topmost note of the 5th quaver, g2. It is probably a cautionary mark that should have been placed in the previous bar, where it would be justified.
