The sources differ in the number of accents in the L.H. in bars 29-30. In A, GE2, GE3, EE the accents are in bar 29 over the 5th and 11th quaver (f1) and in bar 30 – over the 5th quaver (e1). In GE1 and GE4 there is only an accent in bar 30 over the 5th quaver (e1). In FE there are no accents at all.

In front of the 5th quaver, FE has a natural instead of a flat. Chopin corrected the mistake in all three pupils' copies: FEJ, FED and FES.

We add a slur over the double-note chords written in A. In GE1 it was moved under the notes, the correct notation was reinstated in GE2 (→GE3) (→GE4). The double slur EE is probably a result of an editorial revision, and the lack of the slur in FE – an error.

Lack of arpeggio in FE is most probably a result of an oversight.

We adopt the unambiguous staccato dots of A (→GE) and EE (EE is lacking the 1st dot in bar 37). FE's wedges may be an arbitrary revision of the edition and they do not have to result from distinct notation of the manuscript which serves as its base text – in that edition the dots are used only with the slurs in bars 122-126. The absent signs in FE in bars 37, 42 and 44 are probably a result of an oversight.
