In the main text, we introduce a simpler notation, which makes it more balanced at the same time, used by Chopin in analogous situations in bars 459-460 and 461-462. The correctness of the slur in bars 459-460 is confirmed by the proofreading (most probably authentic) of the slurring in this place – the traces visible in FE prove that the shorter f category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

Fontana's fingering and entries in FEH in bars 458 and 460 are astonishingly similar – the only difference is that one digit written in FEH is missing in EE. However, it does not increase the likelihood of a Chopinesque origin of those indications, since in both bars the fingering naturally stems from the passage structure and hand position determined by the previous figure. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FEH |

In subsequent passages, Fontana's fingering resembles the scheme indicated by Chopin in bar 457. The indications written in FEH are of the same nature. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FEH |

Division of the slur before the 2nd beat of bar 460 must be an inaccuracy of FE (→EE), since wherever analogous passages in the L.H. are encompassed with a slur (bars 452, 456 and 458), it always starts from the first, topmost note of the passage. In GE1 (→GE2), an attempt at proofreading the slurs was probably taken; however, the beginning of the second slur was moved inaccurately, on the 2nd semiquaver. Completely correct slurs, compliant with the natural shape of the figuration, were introduced in GE3. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |
