b. 3

In the main text we add a cautionary  to the f1 minim.

..

In bar 3 all sources feature a completely unjustified  (cautionary?) to the first G note. In FC a respective  was also added in bar 4 (in pencil). We do not consider this accidental to be part of FC, since it was added by the reviser of GE. In addition to GE, the latter was also added in EE. In the main text we omit both accidentals.

The sharp in bar 3 must have been entered into [A] by Chopin. According to us, it could be an echo of the initial notation of bars 1-2, in which the top R.H. minim was written down as g1.

4 wedges in FC

4 staccato dots in FE (→EE) & GE2

3 dots in GE1
..

The F crotchets at the beginning of bars 21, 23, 25 and 27 are provided with wedges in FC and with dots in FE (→EE). As the second time (bars 117-123) both sources are provided with dots, to the main text we adopt this kind of markings. In GE the wedges of FC were reproduced as dots; moreover, in GE1 the mark in bar 21 was overlooked, supplemented in GE2.
