Due to the strict analogy between these bars and bars 296-297 (encompassing the entire, several-bar-long fragment), the version of EE, preserving this strict analogy, may correspond to Chopin's intention. In this bar, the slur in bar 313 could have been placed on the wrong side of the c2 crotchet, which would happen in the Chopinesque first editions, cf. e.g. the Concerto in F minor, op. 21, the 3rd mov., bars 172-173. However, in the main text we leave the version of FE (→GE), since both places differ in the orchestral part: in bars 296-297, the tied c2 crotchet is doubled in flute I, whereas in bars 312-313 – it is not. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Sign reversal |

When interpreted literally, the in FE (→GE) is puzzling, since denotes a local dynamic climax, after which one should rather expect a diminuendo, not to mention a crescendo on one note, problematic to perform on the piano. Therefore, we are probably dealing with an inaccuracy or even a mistake. One can imagine two possibilities – the mark was misplaced (e.g. moved to the right with respect to the notation of [A]) or reversed. In the main text, we are inclined to agree with the first possibility due to a similarly distorted hairpin in the Concerto in F minor, op. 21, the 2nd mov., bar 84. The absence of the mark in EE1 (→EE2) seems to be an oversight, corrected in EE3. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Errors in EE , Sign reversal |

The slur in GE1 (→GE2) is probably a result of a characteristic mistake consisting in placing a mark in the so-called 'mirror image;' in this case, on the wrong side of the note – cf. e.g. the Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21, 3rd mov., bars 172-173. The erroneous mark was removed in GE3. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Sign reversal |
