In the main text, we suggest a whole-bar slur in the L.H. after the authentic slurs encompassing figures of a similar shape in bar 20 and 23-25. The addition was introduced also in EE and GE3. A similar situation in analogous bar 58.

The slur of the majority of the editions, even if it renders the notation of [A] accurately, is probably inaccurate – embracing the entire passage in the L.H. with a slur seems to be much more natural. Due to that reason, we suggest a longer slur in the main text; an identical change was introduced in GE3

As has already been indicated in bar 17, we consider the missing slurs to be Chopin's oversight. The need for and the range of the slur in the 2nd half of bar 19 seem to be obvious (cf. identical figures in bar 16 and 21); they were added already in EE and GE3. In turn, one could imagine the first two quavers in bar 20 being performed with another articulation – see e.g. similar bar 61; however, the slur encompassing the last 6 quavers in bar 20 rather excludes such a varied articulation. The missing pedal mark on the 1st beat in bar 20 may also be considered an argument for performing the bass note legato.

In FE, the part of the L.H. is misaligned with the R.H. in the 2nd half of the bar – the last quaver, f, falls already under the dotted quaver c3. The inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE, whereas the mark indicating the right synchronization is written in FEH

The staccato dot present in GE is most probably an inaccuracy of the engraver of that edition.
