In the main text, we keep the extended performance indication as provided in A (→GE→FESB). In the remaining editions, the Chopinesque leggier. abbreviation, not entirely clear, was replaced with leggiero, the meaning of which (but not the form) most probably corresponds to the indication intended by Chopin – see the note to b. 14. At the same time, in EE there are more abbreviations, while in FE1 (→FE2) the word 'ma' was omitted; those changes almost certainly resulted from revision or the engraver's inaccuracies. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , FE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |

In the main text we explain the Chopinesque prestiss. abbreviation, since Chopin probably wanted to fit it between the staves (it can be seen that he started reducing the letter size while writing). Actually, such a solution was already introduced by GE (→FE,EE,FESB). category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |

marking situated in the same place. The chord provided with this dynamic indication ends a long diminuendo (running from the beginning of this extended bar); therefore, emphasising it would be contrary to Chopin's clear idea, which was to attenuate the music. We assume a possible "symmetrical reflection" mistake – the accent that was supposed to be placed under the stem of the e
1 crotchet after the minim chord was printed over the stem of the F-c fifth preceding that chord. Taking into account the above, we do not give this accent in the main text.
