A (→FC,FE) is missing the rest opening the top voice. Since the second time (b. 412) Chopin did write a rest in an identical situation, we consider its absence here to be an oversight. The addition was performed already in GE and EE. See also the note below. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

In both bars the L.H. part was eventually crossed out after a series of alterations and rewritten on an adjacent stave. In the deleted version, most probably identical with the final one in terms of pitch, the following are noteworthy:

The slurs over the motifs of the bottom voice in A are of different length: they encompass the quavers only or reach the minim in the next bar. On many occasions, it is difficult or even impossible to say conclusively which of the slurs Chopin meant. Since there is no visible reason for those actually identical motifs to have different slurs, in the main text we unify them, assuming the six-note slurs to be more frequent in A. None of the remaining sources reproduced Chopin's notation accurately; the differences in FC and FE are exclusively of an accidental nature, whereas GE1, EE and GE2 (→GE3) also introduced arbitrary changes, ordering the notation. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , Errors of FC , Inaccuracies in FC |

The missing tie of e2 must be mistakes of FE and GE1, corrected in EE and GE2 (→GE3) respectively. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

In the main text we suggest the markings of FE (→EE) for the chordal section starting from the syncopated crotchet; it is possible to add the staccato dot from GE in analogous b. 25. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Authentic corrections of FE |
minim in b. 310, independent from the deletion of the entire bars, so probably earlier. It was probably a rest, which would suggest that its absence in the final version could have been intentional. However, Chopin could have added a rest, since he was considering to change to a strictly two-part notation; then he realised that he would have to introduce more corrections and removed the rest with the intention of rewriting the whole L.H. part from scratch.
