The slurring was most probably changed by Chopin in the basis for FE together with the matching system of beams. However, the new, longer phrase mark was reproduced inaccurately in FE – the ending of the phrase mark in b. 126, at the end of the page (like in our transcription), suggests that it should be continued in the next bar, in which, however, there is no ending of that phrase mark. We consider the a crotchet in b. 127, which ends the phrase, having been left outside the phrase mark to be a mistake; therefore, in the main text we lead the phrase mark to that note. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources |

From this bar on, the hitherto homogenous (in spite of numerous inaccuracies) articulation markings change. In particular, the hitherto consistently kept difference between the range of the slurs of GE and FE is reduced in favour of shorter slurs. In FE the shorter slurs are accompanied by no staccato dots over the a1 quavers, hence it is likely that we are not dealing with inaccuracies (cf. subtle changes in articulation in the ending of the Etude in A minor, Op. 25 No. 4, b. 62). As the text of GE is identical, we give this version in the main text. In EE the slurs were prolonged after the previous bars in FE (→EE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

In the main text we include the phrase mark of FE (→EE) in b. 127-128, since there are no reasons to doubt its authenticity. Moreover, we suggest adding an analogous phrase mark in the next two bars. In the main text we follow FE (→EE) and suggest the missing phrase marks in square brackets. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

In the main text we add the ending of the slur, since in the previous bar its shape in FE suggested that it should be continued. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Editorial revisions |

The ending of the slur of GE1 in b. 140 (at the end of the line) suggests that it should be continued, although the last part of the slur is poorly visible. However, there is no ending of the slur in b. 141, and in GE2 the slur clearly ends on f category imprint: Differences between sources |
