In some of the sources the lower notes of the octaves in the L.H. are marked in an abbreviated form with 8 signs. In CLI and FE all described bars are written in this way, although in CLI two 8 signs were omitted in bar 60. In EE the abbreviation was used only in bars 54-56. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Abbreviated octaves' notation , Errors of CLI |

In the three teaching copies, the bass notes in bar 59 were doubled with lower octaves. In FES the octave progression is consistently brought to the beginning of bar 60. In our opinion this means that Chopin considered the version with the octaves at least equivalent to the version of A (→GE→FE→EE), in which single notes appear. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Annotations in FES , Authentic post-publication changes and variants , Annotations in FEJ , Bass register changes , Abbreviated octaves' notation |

The version of CLI is definitely original. In the main text we give the more subtle version of FE (→GE,EE; in EE2 without the tie sustaining E). category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Errors in EE , Accompaniment changes , Abbreviated octaves' notation |
