The two long accents we give in the main text come from A. The copyist overlooked the second one in FC (→GE), and short accents in FE result from inaccurate recreation of A. The vertical accents in EE are an arbitrary revision characteristic of this edition. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , Errors of FC |

The slur of A was written carelessly – its right-hand end reaches over the rest, while the curvature is barely noticeable. Therefore, one can ponder whether its starting point, falling on the 3rd quaver in the bar, corresponds to Chopin's intention, particularly since in a similar context, in b. 27, the slur of A starts clearly on the 2nd quaver. Taking into account the above, we suggest a slur running from the 2nd quaver as an acceptable variant. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Errors of FC |

The beginning of the slur in A falls slightly before the 2nd crotchet in b. 82, which explains the choice of FE (→EE), in which the slur runs from that crotchet. According to us, starting the slur at the pitch of the previous tie to b2 indicates that the motif beginning with that syncopation should be continued, which seems more natural, after all. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Errors of FC |

The missing hairpin in FC (→GE1) must be a mistake of Fontana, who overlooked a few dynamic markings further on – in b. 84, the hairpin in b. 85 and the accents in b. 86 and 87. The addition of that mark in GE2 indicates that the text of FE was used at random at the time of revision. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Errors of FC |

The placement of the indication is ambiguous in A – the mark is written close to the L.H. part (partially on the bottom stave), after the quaver rest at the beginning of the bar, hence it seems that it concerns the repeated a quavers. However, a more thorough analysis of the notation of A opens an alternative interpretive possibility – in relation to the R.H. part is written before the first chord, i.e. at the beginning of the bar. Moreover, the indication is preceded by a quite significant crossing-out (probably ), which makes it impossible to write more to the left. Taking into account the above, in the main text we put at the beginning of the bar as a general indication, concerning all voices. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: EE revisions , Errors of FC , Inaccuracies in A |
