The versions of the editions are arbitrary attempts at interpreting the seemingly illogical slurring of A (→FC). Indeed, one could assume that the notation of A is inaccurate due to the crossings-out in b. 12, which forced Chopin to rewrite the R.H. part on the stave above. According to us, it could have provoked an unintentional shortening of the phrase mark, which would justify the version of GE. However, in the main text we keep the notation of A, which could have equally been intended by Chopin – the f1-b1 crotchet guarantees legato at the end of the bar, while the last quaver (c category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , FE revisions |

This bar was entirely crossed out in A and rewritten on adjacent staves – the R.H. above the crossing-out, while the L.H. – below. In the readable initial version, the regular steps of the R.H. quavers and the position of the 1st L.H. chord are preserved, while the f1 notes are written enharmonically as e category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Omissions to cancel alteration , Corrections in A , Deletions in A , Accompaniment changes , Enharmonic corrections , Main-line changes |

The missing accent and staccato dots in FC (→GE) are most probably an oversight of Fontana, particularly since the dots in A are very poorly visible in this bar. In turn, the missing accent could be related to Fontana's conviction that the accents in this theme refer to the R.H. – see the note in b. 4 – hence he did not expect such marks while copying the L.H. part. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors of FC |

The bottom note of the R.H. bottom voice on the 2nd crotchet is written too low in FC, as a result of which in GE1 it was interpreted as an e1. The patent mistake was corrected in GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Errors of FC , Errors repeated in GE |

. The corrections had been performed before the performance marks were introduced – the crossed-out version did not contain the following elements: accent, staccato dots, phrase mark, dashes marking the range of crescendo and pedalling marks. The 
restoring b1 on the 3rd beat of the bar was also missing.
