The change of accents to vertical is a frequent arbitrary decision of EE. It is noteworthy that in bar 40 the authentic short accents were preserved, which is an example of the inconsistence of the reviser (engraver?) of EE. See also the notes on accents in b. 42 and 43. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

As in the previous bars, FE (→GE) erroneously reproduced the majority of the L.H. slurs – instead of from the 2nd or the 5th crotchet in the bar, they begin earlier, from the 1st or the 4th crotchet. It was only the second slur in b. 41 that was reproduced in accordance with A. EE homogenised the slurs by making the only authentic slur resemble the remaining ones. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE |

As in the previous bars, the pedal asterisks in A are inconsistent and accidental – most of them are after the 3rd crotchet in a given half of the bar; some under (the 2nd in b. 41) or before (in b. 43). FE (→EE) did not reproduce that notation; however, it is also here that the differences in the placement seem to be of an accidental nature, particularly since some asterisks were placed inaccurately, hence it is difficult to determine whether they were to be placed under a given note or after it (the majority of the marks fall after the 3rd crotchet; however, in the 1st half of b. 42-43 they were placed under the note). In GE, the marks were placed under or slightly before the note; nevertheless, the differences are so insignificant that we consider all of them to be falling under the note, and this is the version we adopt to the main text (see also b. 36-39). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |

The missing accent in A (→FE) is probably Chopin's oversight, perhaps provoked by lack of space for the mark – in this (and the next) figure, Chopin still wrote R.H. stems and beams under the notes, which makes the insertion of an accent between the staves almost impossible in the discussed place. The accent was added by GE and EE (a vertical accent in the latter, as in the remaining figures – cf. b. 41-43). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |
