The shorter bottom arm of the accent in AF caused the mark in FE (→EE) to have been reproduced as short. The absence of the accent in GE2 is most probably an oversight. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in A |

In the majority of the sources it is only some of the staccato dots that are present at the beginning of b. 17, 19, 21 and 23. All four dots are written – paradoxically – only in AI. This is the version we give in the main text, since nothing indicates that it could have been something other than mistakes and inaccuracies of the engravers or of Chopin himself that contributed to the creation of the other versions. It is particularly the missing mark in AF in b. 23 that could have been provoked by corrections to the layout in b. 21-23 – from the 2nd beat of b. 21 on, Chopin moved all the a notes from the bottom to the top stave (in GE the note in b. 23 is on the bottom stave and is provided with a dot). Staccato marks in all four places are present in AF in analogous b. 109-115. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Errors in FE , Corrections in A , Deletions in A , Inaccuracies in A |

The missing slur (and the staccato dot – see the adjacent note) must be Chopin's inadvertence in AF – in this autograph, respective marks are in all three analogous b. 22, 110 and 114. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in A |

In the main text we include the slurs combining the last chord in b. 18 and 20 with the first note in the next bar. The absence of the slur in b. 20-21 must be Chopin's oversight in AF (→FE→EE).
