The più vivo indication was entered into A instead of the earlier sempre più vivo (which was deleted). According to us, the omission of sempre could have been correlated with it having been added before più animato in b. 126 (that sempre having been added later is evidenced by an unnaturally greater gap between sempre and più than between più and animato). In this situation, forgoing the indications in two places for a single più animato in b. 126, which we can see in FE (→GE,EE), can be considered the last stage of shaping the agogic changes in this fragment – Chopin could have assumed that such a solution would define here the relationships between the tempi in a simplest and most accurate manner, since it is from this bar that a new section begins, featuring a clearly different texture. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Errors in FE , Corrections in A , Deletions in A , Authentic corrections of FE |

Unlike in the case of the agogic markings in b. 125 and 136, it is difficult to find a justification for a possible abandonment of the scherzando indication. Therefore, we include it in the main text; we signalise its absence in the principal source by using brackets. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in FE , Authentic corrections of FE |

The accent was overlooked probably due to an oversight by the engraver of FE (→GE,EE), which Chopin possibly did not notice while proofreading FE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in FE |

It seems that the accents – as many other markings – were overlooked by the engraver of FE. However, to respect the image of the text of FE, carefully proofread by Chopin, in the main text we suggest them in a variant form, in brackets. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE |
