The wedges over d and a are a result of a mistake of the engraver of FE, who misinterpreted the '1's of the fingering. The first of them was removed in the last proofreading of FE (→EE), yet in GE it remained unchanged. In the main text we give the fingering after A, yet we leave the inclusion of the digit over d to the performer's discretion, as in subsequent, similar figures (bars 4, 6, 8), Chopin did not once repeat it and it cannot be excluded that it referred to the original version of this fragment. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Authentic corrections of FE |

In the main text we give the fingering of the L.H. written by Chopin in A. Only some of these digits were correctly reproduced in FE (→GE,EE). The editors assume that the most probable reason for this state of affairs is rather the engraver's negligence than Chopin's proofreading. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE |

We suggest to complete the slurs after Chopin's marks in analogous bars 16 and 20. In bar 6 the slur was already added in GE and EE4. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

In A there are visible traces of deleting the original version of the 1st quaver in the L.H. It seems that its notation did not go beyond the staff, it could have been, e.g., the F-c fifth. category imprint: Corrections & alterations issues: Corrections in A |

The range and possible divisions of slurs in A are unclear. We suggest two possible interpretations. Perhaps it was the uncertainty concerning this issue that was the reason for the omission of the slurs in bars 3-5 in FE (→GE,EE). In this kind of rhythmically homogeneous, virtuoso figuration, possible breaks in slurs on the main beats of the bar do not influence the performance. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A |
