The missing slurs in FE seem to be an inadvertence (of Chopin or of the engraver), hence in the main text we suggest adding slurs after analogous or similar bars, e.g. bars 74-75. In bar 76, a slur was added already in EE and GE3. A similar situation in bar 78. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , 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:

There are no accidentals before the penultimate octave in FE (→GE). However, since in those editions (except for GE3) the first half of the bar is written using an octave sign, one can consider the sharps before the 1st octave in the bar to be valid. In GE3, the notation does not feature an octave sign (like in our transcriptions), hence the missing accidentals are a manifest error. In EE, sharps were added before this octave; they were added also in FED. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FED , Accidentals in different octaves , Errors in GE |

The finger replacement on d presented in EE reflects rather Fontana's than Chopin's preferences – the slurring suggests a hand transfer and not a finger replacement delaying the target, wide hand position. Cf. the authentic fingering of a similar figure in bar 38. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

The sources differ in the notation of the accidentals in the 2nd half of the bar; however, none of them includes a manifest error. In relation to the notation adopted in the main text (note number in brackets):
Above all, the differences result from different conventions of validity of the marks next to the notes that are included or not included by an octave sign. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |
