A comparison of the slurs in analogous bars 175-176 and 530-531 leads to the conclusion that they are most probably inaccurate in both places. Chopin was not utterly careful when it comes to such short slurs over the motifs whose range is clearly defined in another way, in this case by the arrangement of beams, accents and staccato marks. Due to this reason, in the main text we unify all these slurs (we also add the overlooked second slur in bar 176), considering the endings of the slurs in the exposition and the beginnings in the recapitulation to be reliable. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

One can ponder whether the placement of the staccato indication only just in the 2nd half of the bar is not an example of the Chopinesque manner of placing indications within their range of validity. In other words, whether one should not perform the entire chromatic sequence in this bar staccato. According to us, no – such placed indication most probably means that the first few notes are to be performed legato and then the articulation is to be gradually changed, so that the last few notes are clearly performed staccato. There is a similar situation in bar 532. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Centrally placed marks |

The missing accent in GE must be an oversight. The long accent in EE1 seems to be an inaccuracy, which EE2 (→EE3) tried to correct by shifting the mark slightly to the left. In such a context, it is highly likely that it is a long accent that corresponds to the notation of [A]. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Errors in GE |
