The longer slur of As is probably the initial version, concerning the crossed-out version of the melodic line in b. 10-11. It is indicated by a second slur between b. 11-12, which begins only just over the a1 crotchet, added (or left) as valid after corrections. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , GE revisions |

In the notation of A it is not entirely clear where Chopin wanted to begin stretto or how far the dashes marking its range are supposed to reach. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the remaining sources reproduce those details differently, which we consider inaccuracies, with the exception of the version of GE, in which the dashes are led as far as to the beginning of b. 19, which is clearly contrary to the notation of FC. In the main text we assume that stretto is to be combined rather with g2 than a1 and that the dashes reach f1 in b. 18. The major divergence from the Chopinesque notation is to be seen in CGS, in which stretto is written in the middle of the 1st half of b. 16 and the dashes only just in the 2nd half of b. 17, as a result of which it is actually unclear how they are to be considered jointly (in that copy, just like in FE, the entire indication is placed between the staves). It was probably caused by lack of space between the staves. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , EE inaccuracies , Inaccuracies in FC , Inaccuracies in A , Errors in CGS |

The slur of As begins more or less in the middle of the bar, so it can be interpreted as starting from the f1 minim. According to us, a slur of such a range concerned the initial version of the ending of the bar; following its deletion, it is only the a1 crotchet that remained, and the slur inevitably begins from it. A slur starting from the a1 crotchet is also included in GE; however, it is a result of a routine revision, adjusting the notation to certain general notation conventions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |
