The ambiguous abbreviation used in FCI – leg. – could generally be explained as leggiero; however, if that were the case, it is the abbreviation legg. that would be more rational. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that it was supposed to be legato. (Cf. a similar problem in Lento con gran espressione WN37, b. 6-7.) The change of the grammar form of the indication in EE – which has no influence on its musical meaning – could have been inspired by the uncertainty about the linguistic correctness of the term used by Chopin. Indeed, the then prevailing form of that adverb was leggermente, alternatively, leggiermente. However, as it does not appear in any of the sources, we keep the Chopinesque indication, which, after all, is perfectly clear in terms of its meaning. Cf. a similar situation in the 3rd mov. of the Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21, b. 81 and 317. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

In the main text we include the fingering entered by Chopin into FES, confirmed by an equivalent entry in FED, also Chopinesque. The much more abundant fingering of EE must be inauthentic; in addition, despite its initial compliance with the Chopinesque additions, it is almost certainly different from the one envisioned by the composer (unjustified use of the fingers 4-2 a sixth apart at the end of the 1st half of b. 1). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FED , Annotations in FES |

Nothing indicates that the fingering of EE could be authentic. What is more, a mistake was most probably committed in b. 8 – in the middle of the bar, the b-a notes should be, apparently, played with the fingers 2-1, as they were in the previous bar, in an analogous place. In the copied fingering, it is, however, impossible to reach d at the beginning of the 4th group without crossing the fingers, which should have been marked. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in EE |

The inauthentic fingering of EE most probably contains a mistake in b. 25 – it should be the 1st and not the 2nd finger on the 3rd semiquaver. The mistake was probably caused by transposing the "continental" notation (12345) to the English one (+1234). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |
