The differences between the sources result from mistakes and inaccuracies of both the copyist and the engravers of FE and GE. However, the issues concerning the decipherment and the interpretation of A were caused by, e.g. a dense notation, without spaces between the staves – actually, in A there is no space for pedalling markings, added later, which resulted in them being placed inaccurately at times.

Except for GE, in the sources the placement of the pedal asterisks was quite accurately reproduced after A – the differences do not exceed a half of a semiquaver. In turn, the pedal in b. 5 in GE encompasses the entire bar, which deviates from the notation of FC to such an extent that one can assume a mistake, e.g. printing the category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in GE |

The dashes marking the range of cresc. were misinterpreted in FC and GE; in turn, EE reproduced them inaccurately. The copyist, who did not notice dim. in b. 31, led the dashes until this very bar, since he was convinced that the dashes in the following bars mark the continuation of crescendo. The engraver of GE forgot the dashes on a new line of text. The engraver of EE probably considered the notation of FE to be inaccurate and led the dashes to the end of b. 28, which, actually, seems to be one of the acceptable interpretations of the notation of A (→FE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Errors of FC |

The dynamic indication of A was not accurately reproduced in any of the remaining sources. The most serious mistake was committed by Fontana, who did not notice the dim. indication and continued writing crescendo dashes in FC, which radically changed the effect intended by Chopin. Therefore, dim. is also absent in GE, in which, however, the oversight of dashes (already from b. 26) mitigated the results of the copyist's mistake. Omission of some or all dashes in FE and EE are minor inaccuracies. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Errors of FC |
