The ending of the slur that started in b. 4 may suggest in A that it should be combined with the slur in b. 5; it was reproduced as such in FE (→EE). In turn, the copyist in FC (→GE) assumed that the slur reaches the beginning of b. 5 but does not combine with the slur that begins there. According to us, it is the latter that is more likely; therefore, we give it in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

Bar 7 is marked in A (→FC) in an abridged manner as repetition of b. 6. It brings into question the slurring, since the slur over b. 8 begins in A before the end of b. 7, which suggests that it should be combined with the preceding slur, which, in fact, is not written out. In FE (→EE) the slurs are not combined; however, since both the range and the shape of the slur in b. 8 suggest that it should be continued, in the main text we encompass these bars with a continuous slur. The slur of FC, although generally very similar to the slur of A, does not imply continuation, hence the motif in b. 8 in GE is encompassed with a separate slur. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

The chord in the R.H. part in A (→FC→GE) is a crotchet, which, along with the rests filling 5 quavers, adds up to 7 quavers. The way the R.H. part is distributed over the R.H. shows that the excess rhythmic values are to be looked for on the 2nd or 3rd quaver – either Chopin forgot to write a quaver flag to the stem of the chord or he unnecessarily wrote a rest over the 3rd L.H. quaver. In the editors' opinion the former – an erroneous oversight of one element of notation – is more likely than the latter – entering a superfluous rest. Adding a quaver flag is also how this passage was corrected in FE (→EE). The erroneous notation of the sources is reproduced in the graphic transcription ("transcript" version). In the content transcription ("edited text") we interpret the text of A, FC and FE in accordance with the correction introduced in FE, and the text of GE the alternative way. The chord in the R.H. part in A (→FC→GE) is a crotchet, which, along with the rests filling 5 quavers, results in 7 quavers. The mistake was corrected in FE (→EE) by adding a quaver flag to the stem of the chord. We also believe that the notation should be corrected like that:
