According to us, the version of GE1 (→FE→EE) is a result of a misunderstanding of the sense of the proofreading in the previous bar. The engraver probably considered the c2 crotchet to be related to the trill and constituting its ending. Since in the proofreading a change of the trilled note was marked, he assumed that the crotchet is also to be corrected. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors resulting from corrections , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

In the main text we provide the indication concerning instrumentation written as a full word, as it is in A. In GE (→EE,FESB) the Fl. abbreviation was used, which we do not regard as an independent variant. The absence of the indication in FE could be attributed to the changes entered into the basis for this edition – see the adjacent note. The possibility that Chopin could have omitted this piece of information on purpose is less likely – although in the version of FE the bottom voice of the R.H. octaves does not correspond to any instrumental part, the top voice remains an equivalent of the flutes. One can even assume that this indication is all the more justified, since in this version it was the flute voice that was reinforced at the expense of the other instruments that were not included in the piano reduction. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors resulting from corrections , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

According to us, the slur in A (→GE→FE,EE) is an element of an earlier version of this place left by inattention or simply a mistake. This is supported by the following arguments:
Due to these reasons, in the main text we omit this slur. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Corrections in A , Errors resulting from corrections |

The version of A and of the majority of the editions with g2 as the 12th semiquaver must be erroneous – Chopin forgot to cancel the put to g2, the first note in the bar. This is evidenced by:

An additional c2 in the chord must be a mistake, since the note does not result from the link to the previous chord; it unnecessarily precedes the next, accented minim. We are most probably dealing with an unfinished proofreading of a major mistake – the traces of removing c3 visible in this place in FE may indicate that it was the 1st chord from the previous bar, c2-f2-c3, that was printed here in the first place. While proofreading this mistake, both missing notes were added (f1-a1), but it was only c3, going beyond the target chord, hence easier to remove, that was deleted. category imprint: Differences between sources |
