The fact that is placed differently in different sources probably results from graphic difficulties in recreating the notation of the manuscripts. For our main text we take the notation of GC. category imprint: Differences between sources |

The slur is surely inaccurate in GC and most probably inaccurate in EE. Written with a bold strike of the pen, that slur had probably been present in the autograph. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GC |

Differences between the sources as far as the range of the hairpin mark is concerned, although pronounced, are most probably accidental. Somewhat delayed (bar 244) beginning of the mark in GC (→GE) has no practical significance, while embracing bar 247 with the is almost definitely Gutmann's mistake, as he made many such errors in his copies. Two marks in FE are probably to be understood as one; in Chopin's times, the old convention was sometimes in use in which continuation of a dynamic change in a new line of text was marked with the same mark as a new dynamic change would be. In our main text we propose the marks of FE interpreted according to that convention. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors of GC |

In FED Chopin marked in an abbreviated manner an extension of the figuration with an octave (in pencil). A similar solution can be found in the Etude in F minor, Op. 25 No. 2, bar 67, the Nocturnes in F minor, Op. 48 No. 2, bars 113-114 and in E major, Op. 62 No. 2, bars 68-69 and in the Waltz in A major, Op. 34 No. 1, bars 163-164 and 167-168. In some of the cases, the idea of the variant could have been related to the extended piano scale, which in Chopin's last years reached until a4. category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Authentic post-publication changes and variants |

In the main text, we give a sign on the basis of FE (→EE), as these are the only sources, in which the asterisk is present at all (in GE1 the sign was also overlooked). Our alternative suggestion is an asterisk [] in a place in which it was added – probably by Chopin in the base text to EE – at the first appearance of this place (bars 55-56). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , FE revisions |
