The slur in A is inconspicuous, which explains it having been overlooked in the remaining sources. However, it was certainly intended by Chopin, since an identical indication is present in analogous b. 227-228. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors of FC |

The quaver in FE (→EE) is almost certainly a mistake: in analog. b. 228 A also features a crotchet, which practically rules out the possibility of Chopin having overlooked a quaver flag. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE |

In spite of the clear difference in the length of the accents in b. 118, 120, 122 and 124 visible in A, in the main text we give a unified notation with four short accents, which are more natural in these brilliant, virtuoso passages. At the same time, it is compliant with the notation of the principal source, i.e. FC, although it seems unlikely that Chopin could have interfered with the notation of the copy here. The absence of the last mark in FE (→EE) is an oversight, whereas the shorter first accent in EE – an inaccuracy or revision. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , Errors in FE , EE inaccuracies , Inaccuracies in FC |

In the main text we give the staccato markings in b. 137, 145, 161 and 169 on the basis of the homogenous notation of FC. The alternating wedges and dots in A indicate Chopin's inaccuracy: the unquestionable wedge in b. 161, along with the notation of A in b. 5-37, make us consider the wedges to be probably intended. The omission of the markings in FE (→EE) must be a mistake, whereas the double dots in GE – a revision (there is no top dot in b. 169 in GE2, which is a patent oversight). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Wedges , Inaccuracies in FC |
