In the main text we give the pedalling entered by Chopin into FC (→GE). We provide justification for the suggested alternative version in the note to analogous b. 115-116. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Authentic corrections of FC |

In these bars the sources include naturals (cautionary?) before the D crotchets – GE before both, while FE (→EE) only in b. 247. We omit those accidentals in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions |

In A (→FE→EE) there is no restoring b2 on the penultimate quaver. A comparison with similar phrases an octave higher and lower proves that it was an oversight by Chopin. The accidental was added by GE. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Omissions to cancel alteration , Errors of A , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |

In A, one can see two more deleted notes between the c3 and b2 quavers; in addition, the not entirely removed stem of the former was left untouched. Consequently, it probably caused the mistake of FE, in which one can see traces of removal of a redundant note, most probably c3, placed between d3 and c3. It is uncertain what the aim of the corrections of A was. Below we present a hypothetical reconstruction of a respective fragment with the removed notes having been revealed: . The notation can be explained as follows:

The fourth slur, added by GE and EE, almost certainly resulted from an arbitrary revision, frequently encountered in Chopin's pieces; it consists in 'completing' slurs between the given chords – for example, if, like here, 3 slurs linked two four-note chords, it would be considered a mistake, and the 'missing' slur would be added (cf., e.g. the Mazurka in D, Op. 33 No. 3, b. 8-9 and analog. or in B, Op. 41 No. 2, b. 4-5 and analog.). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |
