Three out of four L.H. accents in these bars are longer in A than the others, undoubtedly short (although not as long as the one in b. 503). The remaining sources contain short accents only, while FC is missing the last one, whereas GE1 – the last two. As the version of A we give the literal interpretation, with three long accents. However, in the main text we adopt short accents, since Chopin, by means of placement of an accent, i.e. under or over the notes, indicated whether an accent refers to the crotchet (over, short accent) or to the minim (under, long accent), and the discussed accents are written over the notes. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Errors of FC |

The ending of the slur of A is unclear; according to us, the final part of the slur, bent in the opposite direction, is a remaining part of an uncontrolled, further movement of the hand after finishing the two-note slur (like in the entire fragment). It misled Fontana, who led the slur to the next bar in FC, whereas FE (→EE) reproduced that slur in accordance with the scheme. GE1 omitted the slur of FC, which did not fit with the others, while subsequent GE added a slur over the 2nd and 3rd crotchets, undoubtedly intended by Chopin. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The inaccurate slur of A, which starts slightly too early, was misinterpreted in FE (→EE). In turn, the inaccuracy of FE – the end of the slur in b. 505 suggests continuation, which is not confirmed by b. 506 in a new line, which does not contain an ending of that slur – resulted in a further erroneous extension of the slur in EE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A |

The slurs in b. 505-506 and 507-508 visible in GE2 (→GE3) cannot be authentic; they were probably added after b. 503-504 due to the extensions of the bass notes. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |
