The missing slur in FC must be an oversight, corrected in GE. The shorter slur of FE (→EE) is probably also a mistake. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Errors of FC |

The missing slur in A (→FE) in b. 540-541 is almost certainly an oversight of Chopin. The next four slurs, written in A, illustrate the difficulties in interpreting handwritten slurs, since each of them manifests a defect (a gap or a shortening), resulting from interruption in the flow of ink. The copyist overlooked 3 out of those slurs (in b. 541-542 at the end of the line of the manuscript), which was completed in GE3. EE unified the slurs: the overlooked slur in b. 540-541 was added and the excessively short R.H. slur in b. 541-542 was prolonged. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , Errors of FC |

In the main text we give the pedalling of A, the only irrefutably authentic. The missing pedalling in FC (→GE) may be a result of an oversight of the copyist: overlooked slurs suggest distraction. It is also likely that Chopin added it in A after having prepared FC.

Four accents under the bass octaves were not reproduced in such a form in any of the remaining sources. While GE2 (→GE3) contains all accents, they are placed above the octaves, which is a revision of the text of GE1 on the basis of a comparison with FC and unification by analogy (an accent was added in b. 551, which is absent in FC). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Errors of FC |
