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 |

The inaccurate notation of FE does not clearly reveal whether it is a new slur that begins in bar 448 or whether it is a continuation of the previous one. Both interpretations may be considered justified, both from the source (graphic) and musical points of view. In the main text, we adopt separated slurs due to a four-note section beginning in bar 448. The missing slur in EE in bars 446-447 must be a mistake. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE |

A comparison with analogous bar 453 most probably points to an inaccurate notation of the beginning of the slur in the sources. It is also the Chopinesque fingering, indicating those figures to be performed legato, that supports the idea of encompassing the first group of semiquavers with a slur. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in GE |

Both the ending of the slur in bar 450 and the beginning of a new one in bar 452 fall on musically unjustified places. That gives rise to the suspicion that the notation could be inaccurate or even erroneous. A possible cause of that inaccuracy is indicated by the correlation between the slurs and the octave sign – the first slur ends where the octave sign begins in the sources, while the second slur begins just when the octave sign ends.

2 note is wrongly assigned to the L.H. The mistake can be understood if we take into account the fact that on the last beat of bar 441 and the 1st quaver in bar 442 the parts of both hands are written together, on the top stave. In Chopin's autographs, division into voices may be unclear, e.g. due to middle notes written without stems.
