The missing slur and dots in the bottom R.H. voice must be an oversight by the engraver of FE (→GE,EE), unnoticed by proofreading Chopin – see the note in the 2nd half of the bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE |

In A, Chopin applied the same articulation markings system concerning L.H. crotchets as in b. 9 and subsequent – slurs over dots are present only in cases where there are no crotchets in the R.H. part (it was a thought-out system – in b. 99 Chopin removed the L.H. slur, which he considered superfluous due to a slur being present in the R.H.). The slurs added – most probably by Chopin – in the stage of proofreading FE (→GE,EE) prove that the composer was striving for precise and homogenised articulation markings concerning the crotchets in the accompaniment. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Chopin's hesitations , Deletions in A , Authentic corrections of FE |

In b. 95-96 and 99-100, the markings indicating that the bottom notes of the octaves should be performed by the left hand – m.g. = main gauche [left hand] – were added to FE (→GE) by Chopin. In EE, the French abbreviations were replaced with their English counterparts – L.H. = left hand. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

A left out a few naturals to e notes (in various octaves) in b. 95-96 and 99-102. The patent inaccuracies were corrected in the subsequent editions; the fully correct version is included only in GE and EE3. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in A , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |

It is difficult to say whether the indication was omitted by FE (→GE,EE) due to a proofreading intervention, probably performed by Chopin, or whether we are dealing with an oversight by the engraver. Nevertheless, we acknowledge this change as probably having been accepted by the composer, who introduced a number of changes to this and the adjacent bars while proofreading FE1, including added performance markings – see notes to b. 95-99 and 99 and 103-105 as well. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Authentic corrections of FE |
