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.

The  hairpin was added by Chopin to FC. In GE the mark was slightly shortened, adjusting it to the quintuplet beam. The hairpin of FC could be considered inaccurate, but a mark of similar range was most probably in [A] in bar 19, which seems to result from the comparison of the versions of FE and FC in that bar.
