The long accents written in A (→FC) were not reproduced correctly in any of the editions. Both the shorter marks in FE and their omission in GE could have been related to a very dense and not always rational vertical text layout. The change of the accents' font in EE is a revision, typical of that edition, while the omission of the third mark – an oversight. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in EE , Errors in GE |

In A there is no accidental before the 1st note in the 4th group of demisemiquavers, which should therefore be interpreted as a1. A comparison with analogous b. 1 proves Chopin's mistake; it is also the before the next a2 that confirms a1 as the intended pitch of that note. The natural was added in FC and FE (→EE); however, it is absent in GE, which is probably an oversight of the engraver. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Errors in GE , Cautionary accidentals , Errors of A , FE revisions , Fontana's revisions |

In the main text we reproduce the range of cresc. marked with dashes in accordance with the notation of A (→FE→EE). Dashes running almost until the end of b. 26 in FC was an arbitrary decision of Fontana or perhaps a mistake – the dashes in FC end more or less in a place where they would have ended if they had been written in A a line lower. The omission of the entire indication in GE is a patent mistake. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Fontana's revisions |
