The missing slur embracing the group of small notes is to be, according to us, regarded as an inaccuracy. Therefore, in the main text we give the slur – analogous with bar 219 – added in EE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions |

Together with the change of accentuation Chopin changed in the proofreading of GE (→FE→EE) also the rhythm: the last crotchet in the 1st half of the bar was sustained and a possible quintuplet of semiquavers was divided into a triplet and a pair of common semiquavers. The change, similarly as in the case of the accents, constitutes the final stage of rhythmic transformations, since the traces of corrections in A prove the existence of an already earlier version. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Corrections in A , Authentic corrections of GE |

The tie of c1, written in A in accordance with Chopin's habit as a short curved line before the second of the sustained notes, was reproduced accurately in GE1. However, the notation is illegible in print, hence most probably Chopin added a second longer curved line in the proofreading. The notation, which should be clear for anyone who saw A, turned out to be incomprehensible both for the engraver of FE (→EE) and – surprisingly – for the reviser of GE2. As a consequence, despite two ties, the c1 note is not sustained in those editions. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |

The notation of the harmonic legato (holding elements of chords with fingers), very detailed in A, was reproduced in the editions inaccurately. A fragment of the stem combining the notes of the a-c1 third was not included and the stem extending the first f1 was overlooked. As far as the mentioned third is concerned, the notation of A may be theoretically interpreted twofold: with a c1 crotchet or with an a-c1 crotchet. In this context, it is, however, clear that the a bass note is also to be extended. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |
