According to us, the absence of the tie of the d2 grace note is a mistake – Chopin would often use such a breakdown of octaves downwards written in this way, cf. e.g. the Concerto in F minor, op. 21, the 1st mov., bars 149-150, the Ballade in G minor, op. 23, bars 258-259 or Allegro de Concert, op. 46, bars 217 and 219. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in FE , GE revisions |

In FE, there is one mark before the 7th quaver, a at the pitch of b, so it is unclear whether it concerns the bottom note of the third (resulting in a) or the top one (resulting in c1). In the orchestra, the chord features c1 in the viola part, both in MFrorch and FEorch. Two possibilities arise:

In FE, there are no accidentals before the 2nd octave, which is a patent oversight, corrected both in GE and EE. A sharp before a2 was added also in FES. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Errors in FE , Omission of current key accidentals , Annotations in FES , Last key signature sign |

When interpreted literally, the fingering in FE raises doubts due to its problematic purpose – the 5th finger on D is most obvious in this context and it is difficult to imagine why Chopin would have wanted to indicate its use right here. According to us, the engraver assigned the digit to a wrong note, hence in the main text we place it under d, where such information is useful. category imprint: Interpretations within context issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE |

The version of FE (→GE,EE), although it apparently does not contain a mistake, is certainly erroneous, since it does not correspond to the orchestral part in FEorch – c2, performed by the 1st clarinet, should still sound on the 4th beat of the bar. The harmonic consequences of this discrepancy are practically imperceptible when maintaining the authentic pedalling (this explains the absence of corrections in the pupils' copies), yet the tenth chord, requiring an arpeggio, constitutes an unnecessary pianistic complication. According to us, the c2 minim was most probably misplaced under the 2nd crotchet instead of under the 3rd one, hence in the main text we suggest changing it accordingly. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in FE |
