The missing staccato dots under the bass octaves at the beginning of these bars must be an inaccuracy of notation. Dots are present in analogous b. 227-228 and 247-248 as well as 244. After all, the staccato articulation results here from the very piano texture, hence we do not signalise the addition of the marks with brackets. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

The version of EE1, repeated then in all analogous bars (b. 227, 243 and 247), could have been the initial version of these bars. However, it seems to be more likely that we are dealing here with Chopin's inadvertence, corrected in the penultimate stage of proofreading of FE (→GE). The correction was also introduced in EE2, probably on the basis of GE1. The a1 note is featured in the violas part, yet only just on the 3rd beat of the bar (after the rests). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Omission of current key accidentals , Authentic corrections of FE , Last key signature sign |

The pedalling of FE is most probably incomplete, hence in the main text we supplement it after analogous b. 221 (as well as 203). The missing markings in EE most probably resulted from an oversight, as in the two preceding bars. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , No pedal release mark |

The absence of c1 in FE (→GE,EE) resulted, according to us, from a misinterpretation of A, in which this crotchet actually seems to include only 2 notes. However, the unnatural protrusion on the ledger line in A almost certainly proves that the note is there – cf., e.g. the thickness of the ledger lines in the chord on the 2nd crotchet in this bar. Moreover, although this place occurs only once, a similar D7 chord with an identical resolution is to be found a number of times (b. 217, 219 and analog.), always as an a-c1-d1 chord. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Uncertain notes on ledger lines |

In the main text we give the A version (→GE), supplemented after authentic pedal markings in similar situations, e.g. in bar 229. The FE version can be considered an equal variant. We also suggest an alternative interpretation of the imprecise A notation. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: No pedal release mark |
