In GE1 (→FE1,GE2), the raising b1 to b1 is before the 1st third. Interestingly enough, it is not a common mistake but a wrong revision, since the traces of corrections in print (visible particularly in GE2) reveal that initially the text was printed correctly, with a before the 3rd semiquaver. In FE2, EE, FESB and GE3, the was moved to the right place, while in EE another natural was added, a cautionary one to g1 in the 1st third. We include this cautionary accidental also in the main text, hence our text is identical to version of EE. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE , FE revisions , Errors repeated in FE |

In the majority of the sources, the R.H. text on the 1st beat of the bar contains a rhythmic mistake. However, we give the text in this form, since it is impossible to say which elements are written incorrectly and therefore which rhythm Chopin meant. In the main text we give the version of AsI, since it is undoubtedly authentic, rhythmically correct and natural, both aesthetically and pianistically. However, as Chopin did not repeat the version of AsI, he could have wanted to change it then. The alternative versions are two possible reconstructions of a rhythm that could have been intended by Chopin. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |

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 |
