Slur to bar 94 in Atut (→FEEE)

Slur in bar 92 in GE

..

The earlier ending of the slur in GE could be considered a mistake – an oversight of a part of the slur falling on bars 93-94, placed on a new line of text. However, if this were the case, the slur in bar 92 should indicate a continuation, like it is in FE. Therefore, ending this slur with the last semiquaver of the bar suggests that the slurring was changed on purpose, although it is difficult to find a reason for such an action.

Slur continued in Atut (→FEEE)

No slur in GE

It is unclear how the oversight of a part of the slur, encompassing these bars, in GE happened – see bar 92. In the main text, we stick to the version of Atut (→FEEE).

In the main text, we add cautionary naturals before and a. The mark before was added already in GE3.

The compliant version of Atut (→FEEE) differs not only from GE, but also from the orchestral part of FEorch (→GEorch), in which the entire bass group – cellos and double-basses, bassoons and trombone – feature a B-throughout the first two beats of the bar. The discrepancy could have been intentional or emerged as a side effect of uncoordinated corrections of the orchestral part and its reduction, for which Chopin is to blame. In the case of the latter, it could be the version of GE that corresponded to the composer's intention. Even if this were the case, it still would not prove a Chopinesque proofreading of GE1, since the change could have been introduced by the reviser on the basis of comparison of GEpiano with GEorch (the composer's participation in the proofreading of GE1 is highly unlikely – see the characterization of that edition).

In Atut (→FE), there is no  before e3, which is necessary, considering the notation with octave sign used in these sources. The mark was added both in EE and GE; in the latter, it was added despite the fact that the use of an octave sign was abandoned.
