In A the flats were added in this bar in a visible haste, probably to complement the notation after the notes had been written. The signs before C and c are written a third too high, whereas instead of the necessary flats before g and c2 Chopin wrote signs before e and e1. The inaccuracy was not noticed in GE1 (→FE). The necessary signs were added only in EE and GE2, whereas the superfluous flats before e and e1 were removed only in EE

In the majority of the sources, the R.H. text on the 1st beat of the bar contains a rhythmic mistake. However, we give the text in this form, since it is impossible to say which elements are written incorrectly and therefore which rhythm Chopin meant. In the main text we give the version of AsI, since it is undoubtedly authentic, rhythmically correct and natural, both aesthetically and pianistically. However, as Chopin did not repeat the version of AsI, he could have wanted to change it then. The alternative versions are two possible reconstructions of a rhythm that could have been intended by Chopin.

In A (→GEFE,EE) the penultimate note is prolonged to the value of a quaver, which must be a mistake in this context.

The triplets in the 2nd half of the bar are written in A (→GE1FE,EE) as demisemiquavers instead of semiquavers. The mistake was corrected by GE2 (→GE3,FESB).
