In A (→FC) the L.H. part is marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of b. 3. When expanding on that abbreviation, both FE (→EE) and GE omitted the accent, probably considering it to refer to the R.H. However, Chopin would actually associate accents with the L.H., which is proven by the notation of b. 12, in which the accent is put over the L.H. chord. In FC, unlike in A, the accents in b. 1-3 are placed closer to the R.H. part, which somehow justifies the omission of the accent in GE, but not the addition of a staccato dot in this place. category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: GE revisions , Abbreviated notation of A , Inaccuracies in 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 double slur of A (→FC) in b. 21 and the abridged notation of the R.H. part in b. 22 posed problems to the engravers, as far as the interpretation is concerned. In the case of b. 21, the top one is a tenuto slur, sometimes used by Chopin even for single notes, which was not a common practice in his time. FE considered it a slur for the entire R.H. part and omitted the bottom slur, whereas GE stretched it to the next bar, which resulted in an ambiguous curved line – a slur or a tie of b1. In b. 22 there is only a •/• mark on the stave, yet Chopin wrote the top slur above it, which, according to us, does not mean that he forwent the bottom one; however, the editions interpreted it so. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , GE revisions |
