b. 119-121

EE has an additional slur in the L.H. in bars 120-121. As an editorial version of EE, we give the slur which begins in bar 119, analogously to the slur in bars 115-117.

The sources differ in the rhythmic value of the chord. We give the most natural in this context value of the crotchet present in FE and EE. It cannot be excluded that while writing the quaver in A, Chopin mistakenly copied the version in bar 117.

In EE staccato marks in the L.H. in bars 122-125 were added. The remaining sources reflect the notation of A, however in FE the articulation marks in the R.H. were placed next to the notes' heads.

In A the dashes determining the range of calando reach the middle of bar 125. In GE the indication ends slightly earlier, including bar 124. EE presents another version, in which calando was replaced with the indication smorz. (=smorzando), written only at the end of bar 124. It is very likely that the indication is authentic and comes from the lost base text to EE. In FE the indication in this place was not considered at all.
