The missing b1 note on the last quaver in GE may be an oversight. According to us, however, it is more likely that Chopin added this note in the last proofreading of FE. It is indicated by visible traces of changes in FE, i.e. an inaccurate alignment of the upper section of the stem, reaching this note, with respect to the lower one, which would be impossible if the entire stem was engraved as one line, and the trace of removing b1 in the last chord in the R.H. Therefore, the proofreading would consist in replacing the broad chord in the R.H. (with a span of a ninth) – b1-e2-b2-c3 – with an easier chord – c2-e2-b2-c3 – and in adding a b1 to the last chord in the L.H. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in GE , Authentic corrections of FE |

The missing arpeggio wavy line before the 2nd crotchet is probably an oversight of the engraver of GE. However, it is also possible that the mark in FE was added only in the last proofreading, which was not included in GE. A comparison with analogous bar 93 suggests that the arpeggio on the 3rd beat of the bar could have been misprinted (it should be before the 2nd chord). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |

The easiest explanation for the missing indication is an oversight of the engraver of GE. Less likely scenarios include an intentional omission due to the in the previous bar and dolciss. in the discussed place or addition of this indication in the last proofreading of FE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |

In the main text, we give the complete slurring of FE. The versions of EE and GE1 (→GE2) are most probably a result of the engravers' mistakes. A single slur in GE3 is probably modelled after the slurring of an analogous phrase in bars 95-96. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in EE , Errors in GE , Authentic corrections of FE |

The change of direction of the dynamic hairpin is almost certainly a mistake of the engraver of GE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Sign reversal |
