In the main text we keep the A beaming, that is quavers grouped in pairs. In GE (→FE,EE,IE) the two-quaver beams were replaced by standard four-quaver beams. A similar change was performed by the Viennese publisher of the Variations in B, Op. 2, bars 208-239. The same applies to bars 131-138.

In A the range of the  hairpin in bar 114 is unclear – it starts from the 5th R.H. part quaver or from the syncopated L.H. minim. The comparison with the similarly structured preceding bar supports the latter, which we adopt to the main text. This is how it was reproduced, more or less, in GE (→IE) as well. The prolonged marks in FE and EE resulted from a routine approach of the engravers of these editions.

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

..

In A Chopin did not write a few necessary accidentals – a  to the top note of the 6th quaver in bar 115 (d3),  to the top notes of the 2nd and 6th quaver in bar 116 (b2 and a2) and a  to the bottom note of the 7th quaver in bar 116 (f1). The patent inaccuracies were corrected in GE (→FE,EE,IE).
