In A (→GE→FE,EE) the penultimate note is prolonged to the value of a quaver, which must be a mistake in this context. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Editorial revisions issues: Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |

The triplets in the 2nd half of the bar are written in A (→GE1→FE,EE) as demisemiquavers instead of semiquavers. The mistake was corrected by GE2 (→GE3,FESB). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |

The second note in the L.H. part in AsI, A (→GE→FE) and EE3 is a dotted quaver, as a result of which the bar is a semiquaver too short. In the full, orchestral version of this tutti, the cello (and bassoon) phrase starts from the beginning of the bar with a dotted crotchet, which could have suggested to Chopin that it was also in the version for one piano, after shifting the beginning to the 2nd quaver, that the new value should be dotted. The mistake, easy to detect, was noticed and corrected only by FESB. By contrast, in EE1 (→EE2) the dot prolonging this note was left out – it could have been a failed attempt at correcting this mistake. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in EE , Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Revisions in FESB |

The meaning of the slur, which in A clearly concerns the top L.H. voice, is unclear in GE1 (→GE2) – one can see it as a slightly too short tie to the F crotchet at the end of the 1st beat of the bar or an inaccurate slur encompassing three thirds in the top voice. The first interpretation was adopted by FE1 (→FE2) and EE, while the second – by FESB. In GE3 the slur combines the F crotchet with the c-e category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in GE , FE revisions |

The rhythm of A (→GE→EE,FESB) is almost certainly erroneous, which is evidenced by the long accent, certainly referring to the note held slightly longer (with a dot). Chopin corrected his mistake while proofreading FE1 (→FE2); the correct version is also in AsI. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE |
