We reproduce the four horizontal dashes written in FED, perhaps by Chopin, as wedges, since the Chopinesque wedges generally look like that in the autographs. However, it seems to be unlikely that Chopin would actually mean staccato in this place (not to mention staccatissimo). These marks are most probably to be interpreted together with the slur, as an indication of the portato articulation, close to the one the composer would usually mark with dots under a slur, e.g. in bar 231. category imprint: Differences between sources |

In the main text, we include the characteristic Chopinesque indication, requiring the grace note to be performed simultaneously with the corresponding note in the L.H.

In the main text, we include the correction of the phrasing written by Chopin in FED, which we consider rather a proofreading of the erroneously interpreted slur of [A] than a change of the slurring's concept. At the same time, we interpret the fact of the slurs coinciding at the beginning of bar 264, which could also reproduce the notation of [A] inaccurately, as a continuous slur, like it was written in the first element of the progression (bars 239-240). Both in GE1 (→GE2) and GE3, the shorter slur over bar 263 seems to be an inaccuracy. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Inaccuracies in GE |

The mark written in FED underlines the significance of the rest and, consequently, it suggests the need to emphasise the syncopation as the beginning of a new motif of a probably different emotional nature. category imprint: Source & stylistic information |

In the main text, we include the change of fingers, written by Chopin in FED. The fingering of EE actually does not exclude the use of this procedure, yet it seems to be highly unlikely that Fontana would not have marked such a characteristic fingering if he had taken it into account. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FED , Differences in fingering |
