In the main text we give the unquestionable slur of A (→FC,FE). The slurs of GE1 and EE were probably shortened under the influence of the slur in the L.H. (see the note below). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

A is devoid of both the title and dedication (it seems that the aim of the pencilled addition at the top of the 1st page is to identify the manuscript for ordering purposes). In the main text we give them after the complete version of FC (→GE), free from mistakes. FE (→EE1→EE2) omitted the title of nobility of the dedication's addressee; there are also a few mistakes in her name and surname. Moreover, EE1 (→EE2) includes an additional, inauthentic title 'La Méditation.' The collective title page of EE3 omitted both that addition and the dedication; however, the Scherzo was marked as second. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Dedications , Errors in EE , Authentic corrections of FC |

FE overlooked the ties of the R.H. chord. The mistake was corrected in EE. The ties are also added in FESf. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE |

The L.H. slurs in b. 9-11, 25-27 and 33-35 are an arbitrary addition of the revision of GE1 and EE. In GE and EE, such additions were common also in other compositions, cf., e.g. the Concerto in F minor, Op. 21, 2nd mov., b. 66-69, 3rd mov., b. 145-160 or the Scherzo in C category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

In A (→FC) Chopin did not mark staccato for the L.H. chords in b. 9, 17, 33 and 41. However, there is no doubt that they should be performed with the same articulation as the R.H. chords. Taking into account the notation on separate staves, we repeat the R.H. markings in order to avoid any doubts. In the sources a separate marking for the L.H. is present only in EE in bar 41. It cannot be authentic. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions |
