In the main text, we suggest adding a slur combining the upbeat with the beginning of the next bar – the musical connection of that quaver with the next phrase is unquestionable, yet the a tempo indication appearing only just in bar 573 may distort the correct phrasing if interpreted literally. Both the missing slur and placement of a tempo may actually be a random inaccuracy related to the transition to a new page in FE. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE |

Omission of one bar in slurring of such accompanying figures must be considered an inaccuracy. Therefore, in the main text we include the whole-bar slur added already in EE and GE3. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

The overlapping slurs of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) may be interpreted literally; however, according to us, it is highly likely that Chopin wanted to have consecutive slurs like it was interpreted in GE3.

It is difficult to determine to what extent the slurs of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) reproduce the notation of [A] – one can, e.g. imagine that the fact that the slurs coincide on the 1st octave in bar 598 could mean that Chopin wanted to merge them into one slur. What is more, it cannot be excluded that it was already the notation of [A] that contained certain inaccuracies, a vast number of which can be encountered in the preserved Chopinesque autographs, e.g. the missing slur in the ending of the phrase (bars 599-600) could have been related to the transition to a new line of text, which frequently resulted in overlooked endings of slurs. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest one slur over the entire phrase after the analogous place in exposition (bars 245-249). The solution given in GE3 reveals a routine approach, where it was whole-bar slurs that were considered most natural. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |
