The second octave in this bar is provided in A with a staccato dot (due to smeared ink the mark became distorted, yet, according to us, there is no doubt that the person who wrote it meant a dot). That dot, however, was not reproduced in any of the sources based on A, neither in FC nor in FE (→EE). The reason could have been an oversight or an omission due to the inability to recognize the shape of the mark. GE added a dot most probably by analogy with b. 22 and 46. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , GE revisions , Errors of FC |

There are probably several reasons for the differences in the slurring of these bars. The slur of A (→FE) is probably inaccurate – one can see that Chopin was running out of ink; therefore, one can assume that it was supposed to reach the beginning of b. 165, like in analogous b. 30-33. This is the interpretation of the slur of A that we give in the main text. The slur of FC is clearly erroneous – the copyist reproduced only the ending of the slur of A, falling on the beginning of a new line, despite the fact that the line in A opens with b. 164, whereas in FC – with b. 163. GE1 repeated the notation of FC; however, the slur was led to the beginning of b. 164, which can be considered an interpretation of the slur of FC. GE2 regarded the slurs of FC and GE1 as erroneous and replaced them with a slur modelled after b. 30-33. GE3 generally returned to the version of FC, yet the beginning of the slur was placed in b. 162, which does not affect its meaning. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , Errors of FC , Uncertain slur continuation |
