In bar 171 and 173-174 Chopin was consistent in the use of accidentals when writing L.H. octaves in A, which means that he put them only to the top notes. This simplified notation was complemented by GE (→FE,EE,IE), where all the omitted accidentals were added. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |

The range of the L.H. slurs is not entirely clear in A – the slurs in bars 173-174 can be interpreted as slurs encompassing 4 quavers or reaching the first crotchet. The slurs in bars 171-172 are unambiguous – the first was being extended, while the second certainly reaches the e crotchet, which, however, could have gone unnoticed by the engraver, as the ending of the slur behind the natural partially blends in with the stave, hence it is poorly visible. As there is no reason to differentiate between these slurs, we assume that all reach the crotchet at the beginning of the 2nd half of the bar. The interpretation of the slurs by GE (→FE,EE,IE) can be considered an acceptable variant, since it is compliant with the slurs in the majority of similar motifs, e.g. in bars 97-99, 109-110 or 207-208. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

Leaving analogous R.H. quaver figures without slurs in bar 172 and 174 seems to have been intended by Chopin, hence in the main text we keep this notation. However, an oversight cannot be completely ruled out, hence the version of the editions featuring slurs can be considered an acceptable variant. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |
