The last R.H. bottom voice crotchet in EE is a1, which is a mistake. It was most probably EE in which this patent Terzverschreibung was committed, since FE does not reveal traces of corrections in this place. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in EE , Terzverschreibung error |

Without access to [AG], it is impossible to determine whether and which version Chopin considered to be final. The general concordance between AI and GE suggests that this version was created first; however, even if it was the case, it does not mean that an alternative idea – the version of AF – was already the final word, since there are numerous examples, supported by sources, of returns to original versions, which was poignantly described by George Sand. Therefore, having a choice between two equal authentic versions, in the main text we give the text of GE, which is the principal source adopted for the entire op. 50. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Chopin's hesitations , Accompaniment changes , Enharmonic corrections |

In AF the slur breaks here; however, it is uncertain whether it was supposed to indicate a division of the slur – one can see it as an inaccurately written combination of the slurs, which is how it was interpreted in FE (→EE). In the main text we give the continuous slur of GE, which almost certainly corresponds to the notation of [AG].

1. Chopin changed it to g1 while writing 
a2 in 
1 to d1. We regard it as the composer's oversight – after two multiple progressions, in which the 1st note of the bar is a fourth higher than the preceding one, Chopin could have considered d1 to be obvious here.
