For the last four quavers of the bottom voice we adopt the version of FE and EE1 (→EE2), as being probably the latest. An accurate analysis of the sources reveals traces of double change of Chopin's decision: category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Chopin's hesitations , Accompaniment changes , Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections in GC |

It seems to be highly unlikely that Chopin consciously resigned from the marcato indication in GC (→GE). Its absence can be explained either by its oversight by the copyist or its later addition by Chopin in the base text to FE and EE (perhaps as a new idea after resignation from accents whose deletion in bars 25-29 is visible in GC). According to us, adding the accents as an equivalent of marcato and complete resignation from suggesting distinctive accentuation seem to be much less likely. Taking into account the above possibilities, we give this indication in the main text, placed as in FE, as the placement of marcato in EE under the part of the L.H. may be an arbitrary decision of the engraver or copyist. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections in GC |

The visible in GC deletion proves that, same as in bar 24, Chopin considered the arrangement of the mark in FE and EE to be inaccurate. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections in GC |

In GC (→GE) Chopin wrote here a g note between f and a, increasing the number of the 1st group of demisemiquavers from 13 to 14. We give this version in the main text, being an expression of the latest proved decision of Chopin. However, the question whether it can be considered as the only final version of this run remains open. Chopin did not introduce it neither in the remaining two Stichvorlage manuscripts, nor in the proofreading of FE; it also cannot be found in any of the pupil's copies. Hence, the original thirteen-note version was accepted by him also after having introduced the correction in GC. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Main-line changes , Authentic corrections in GC |

The long accent, present only in GC (→GE1), could have been added there by Chopin. In GE2 (→GE3) it was replaced with a standard, short accent. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Long accents , GE revisions , Authentic corrections in GC |
