Just like in the previous three bars, in the main text we present long accents as the same can be found in EE and FE, while the GC notation is ambiguous (GE has short accents). Moreover, bars 634-642 have the same shape in every source. In GC the marks are notated above the LH octaves. It seems little probable this is not consistent with the autograph. However, in GE the accents are notated below the octaves, which makes us cautious when it comes to evaluate the remaining sources, where the accents are placed between the staves. No accents in bars 639, 641-642 in EE might have resulted from negligence. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

In the main text we provide the FE pedalling, most probably the latest, and according to us more justified when it comes to dynamics (Chopin rarely marked changes in pedalling every strike of a note). Pedallling markings in GC (→GE) must have been overlooked. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors of GC |

The stretto indication was most precisely written out in GC, where we know exactly the scope of the notated dashes. Neither EE nor GE shows it with scu precision. In FE there is no indication at all. However, we believe that the scope indicated in GC was not really based on Chopin's intention as it would be virtually impossible to perform crotchets in bars 643-644. Therefore, assuming the notation of GC is imprecise, we suggest limiting the scope of stretto only to bars 637-642. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GC |

In FE1 there is no ledger line above the octave and it can be mistakenly be read as E1-E. The error was corrected in FE2. In EE the octave was wriiten in short with a digit 8. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Errors in FE , Abbreviated octaves' notation |
