The slur written in CK over the 1st accompaniment figure most probably comes from [A2], hence we give it in the main text (due to the abridged notation of the 2nd half of the bar as repetition of the 1st half, we consider this slur to have been repeated over the 2nd figure). The slurs – just like for the most part of the Lento – are also in CB. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors of JC |

It is only the first out of the four accents written in these bars in [A2] (→CJ,CK) that can be considered an unequivocal long accent on the basis of CJ. In this copy, the shape of the three remaining ones is the one of short accents, yet a confrontation with the specifically moved marks in CK leads us to the conclusion that they were most probably long accents in [A2]. In CK the marks in b. 17-18 are moved to such an extent that it is difficult to guess the intention of the writer without CJ (it may be the reason why both were omitted in CB, while the former also in EL). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Long accents |

The rhythm written on the 2nd beat of the bar both in A1 and the copies of [A2] – CJ and CK (as well as EL) – is either incomplete (missing indication of an irregular group) or erroneous (the semiquavers should have been demisemiquavers). In order to minimise the scope of an editorial intervention, in the main text we suggest the former; the latter was implemented by Balakirev in his copy. In practice, the difference between them is negligible. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Rhythmic errors |

In the main text we preserve the characteristic, "naive" Chopinesque orthography. In CB it was corrected in accordance with the rules, which Chopin did not always obey, particularly in working autographs or drafts (cf., e.g. the Etude in C category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Balakirev's revisions |
