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:

It is unclear what made Fontana start writing più animato as early as in b. 28, hence 2 bars earlier than in A, or why the indication was not included in GE. Moreover, Fontana overlooked the dashes marking the range of the indication. In FE1 the dashes were led only to the end of b. 33, the last in the line, which was corrected in FE2 (→EE). Chopin precisely determined that the more animated fragment should end in b. 38 – in A the dash written in b. 39 was crossed out. Chopin also crossed out sempre before più animato. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Corrections in A , Errors in GE , Deletions in A , FE revisions , Errors of FC |

The missing ties of the middle notes of the chords in A (→FE1,FC→GE1) do not seem to be an oversight – Chopin would have had to forget as many as five ties. It is all the less likely, since playing full chords coincides here with an increasing dynamic and emotional intensity. Therefore, this is the version we include in the main text. However, the authenticity of the version with ties cannot be entirely ruled out – FE2 was most probably proofread by Fontana, yet he could have consulted certain issues with Chopin. The ties in GE2 were added by analogy with b. 1-2 and 9-10 or – which is more likely – after FE2, cf. the Prelude No. 23 in F Major, b. 16. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , FE revisions |
