Slur in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

2 slurs in GE3
..

In the main text, we adopt the change of slurring introduced in GE3. Chopin would sometimes use slurs over rests; however, in this case there are reasons to assume that the fact of having left one slur – most probably the original one, see bar 197 – was his inadvertence.

Slurs in FE (→EE)

Ties in GE
..

In the main text, we give the notation of FE (→EE) with motivic slurs, combining pairs of lower middle notes of chords, d1-c1 and c1-b. However, one cannot exclude that the engraver of FE misinterpreted the notation of [A], in which those slurs were ties of the bottommost notes (b and a, respectively), like the upper ties of the topmost notes. Therefore, it would be the notation of GE that would correspond to Chopin's intention.

..

In FE (→EE1), there are no cautionary naturals before c3 in bar 558 and a2 in bar 560. The accidentals were added in GE and EE2 (before a2) and EE3 (both). In turn, in all sources, there is a cautionary ​​​​​​​ before c2 at the beginning of bar 559, which we omit in the main text.
