The fingering added in GE2 (→GE3,FESB), as natural as possible here, could have come from Chopin; however, due to the reasons discussed in the characterisation of GE2, we do not provide it in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

In the main text we keep the staccato dots clearly written down in both bars in A. The wedges of GE (→FE,EE) probably resulted from the engraver's carelessness or from his conviction that the marks could be regarded as equivalent. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Wedges |

A includes sharps only next to the top notes of the octaves on the penultimate quaver in the bar.

According to us, the ending of the slur of A is inaccurate – Chopin did not lead the slur to the last semiquaver to keep the manuscript readable. The slur must concern the R.H. bottom voice, filled with semiquaver triplets, and is supposed to encompass the entire bar, as it was unequivocally marked in b. 45. This is the interpretation we give in the main text. In GE1 and the remaining editions, except GE3, the slur starts from the 2nd triplet, which is an inaccuracy caused by the 1st triplet having been placed on the bottom stave. FE and EE considered the ending of the slur (in GE1 (→GE2) accurately reflecting the notation of A) carelessly engraved, hence it was shortened. The range of the slur of GE3 is correct on both ends, yet the slur also encompasses the R.H. top voice (like the slurs in the remaining editions), which was clearly omitted by Chopin in A. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , FE revisions |
