Chopin almost certainly committed a mistake (he did not finish the octave sign), which is proven by:
- the absence of loco, with which Chopin would always end the 8va - - - indication;
- breaking the virtuoso momentum of the figuration, which was not led to the end of the scale (f4) – cf. bars 382-383;
- the parts of both hands unnaturally coinciding on the last quaver in bar 390, f3.
Therefore, in the main text we provide the GE version (→FE,EE,IE), in which Chopin's intention was undoubtedly figured out correctly.
