The earlier beginning of the slur in the editions may be a result of the Chopin proofreading of GE1. However, not being certain thereof, in the main text we give the version of A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE |

In GE1 (→GE2), there is only one in bar 285 instead of three subsequent marks. There are no doubts that it is a mistake; however, it remains a mystery how such an accumulation of mistakes occurred (moreover, three out of four in analogous bars 299-302 were overlooked). Perhaps some of them, e.g. those in bars 299-302, were added only just in the last proofreading of FE. GE3 added in all five bars devoid of the marks. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

A comparison with the adjacent bars suggests that the hairpin was overlooked here by mistake. The reason could have been, e.g. the graphic layout, in which the final semiquavers in the L.H. are written on the upper stave, as a result of which there was simply not enough space to insert a hairpin. In turn, it seems to be unlikely that the reason could have been the presence of cresc., since Chopin considered marks and cresc. indications independently – cf. e.g. the next bar. Therefore, in the main text, we suggest adding a hairpin after the adjacent bars (averaging its range). category imprint: Editorial revisions |

The absence of the wedge in GE3, purposeful or accidental, indicates the need to authenticate the single mark in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2). Therefore, in the main text, we suggest wedges also in the next two bars, materialising the model's idea Chopin most probably had at the time of inserting the mark in bar 284. An identical piano grip and repeated marks leave no doubt as to the performance manner of those broken chords, i.e. each time the same. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in GE |

The entries in FEH, probably performed by the pupil's hand, develop the basic fingering idea contained already in bar 283 – the use of the fingers 2 and 1 on the last two semiquavers of each bar. category imprint: Differences between sources |
