In b. 21, 24 and 27 Chopin provides the R.H. figures with two "triplet" slurs in A (→FC→GE1), most probably to emphasize the return of the principal rhythmic scheme after the groups of bars featuring quintuplets. It is unclear whether the whole-bar slurs of FE (reproduced in EE as 5-semiquaver slurs) result from the engraver's distraction or whether they were changed intentionally (to make one's work easier?). Five-semiquaver slurs were also introduced in GE2, which was a logical consequence of standardization of the R.H. rhythm in the entire Prelude. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , EE inaccuracies , FE revisions |

In the main text we include the revision of FE (→EE), since there are no doubts that the part of the chord falling on the L.H. is supposed to last as long as the one falling on the R.H. Chopin was not consistent in this respect; sometimes he would write one, sometimes two fermatas, which does not influence the performance in similar contexts (cf., e.g. Preludes Nos. 1-3 featuring one fermata, but Nos. 4 and 8 – two). In the main text we keep the notation with one fermata only in the cases when an entire chord is written on one stave, e.g. in the Prelude No. 2 in A Minor. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: FE revisions |
