CC overlooked the natural of d1 - we add it in the editorial version.

The autographs and their copies feature one version of the L.H.: e on the 1st beat and then two a-c1 thirds. CC repeats the version of the L.H. from bar 31. A similar situation occurs in F, which also repeats the variant from bar 31.

In FC and FEF, it is an A minim (without dot) that falls on the 1st beat; the rest of the text is like in PE and GEF. In the written-out repetition in FEF, there is a dotted minim for the second time, like in PE and GEF.

In CC, the g note in the chord on the 2nd beat in the L.H. was probably overlooked; however, this variant cannot be considered erroneous.

The version of F, in terms of harmony, significantly differs from the autographs; however, it can be authentic (e.g. particular variants of bars 32 and 36 present only in AG). In FC, the natural of e1 in the R.H. was overlooked, indispensable in this harmonic version - we add it in the editorial version.

The version of AG (→CY) was harmonically enriched by Chopin by the addition of a b note to the dyads present in the remaining sources.

..

In FEF and GEF, there is a cautionary flat next to d1, resulting from the harmonic version of bar 50 - there is a natural raising d1 to d1 in the L.H.
