The version of GE is almost certainly a revision – it may be possible that the beginning of the octave sign was deemed erroneous, i.e. beginning too late. In turn, application of an analogous reasoning to the version of GE may explain the occurrence of the version of EE2 (→EE3). The fact that FE are free from mistakes is proved by an additional (apart from the already printed one), bold f3-g1 slur added by Chopin in FED. The melodic interval, connected with a slur, going beyond the span of an average hand, is an expressive procedure used by Chopin on a number of occasions (cf. e.g. the 2nd mov., bars 65-66, or the Nocturne in B major, op. 62 no. 1, bars 88-89). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

It seems to be impossible to decide whether Chopin meant here a staccato dot (like in the next bars) or a wedge (like in the previous ones). The editors would often confuse these marks; it is also difficult to differentiate between them in the Chopinesque autographs. In the main text we give a dot, since FE is the only edition based directly on [A]. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Wedges |

In EE2 (→EE3), there is no wedge next to the 1st quaver of the bar. It must be an accidental oversight, a side effect of the arbitrary change of pitch of that note – see the adjacent note. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in EE |

A shorter slur in GE3 is an arbitrary intervention or simply an inaccuracy. However, taking into account frequent inaccuracies of the slurring in [A], one cannot be certain whether the slur of FE conveys the notation of that autograph correctly. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |
