The versions of A (→GE) only differ in the presence or absence of a before c1. The version of FE (→EE1→EE2) results from Chopin's correction; we adopt it - supplemented with a cautionary before e flat1 - for our main text. EE3 returned to the version of GE1 (with only the graphic layout modified). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , Cautionary accidentals , Accompaniment changes , Authentic corrections of FE |

A bears traces of corrections of the L.H. part in those bars. One can be almost certain that originally bar 18 began with the crotchet F , other changes - on the 2nd beat of bar 18 and at the beginning of bar 19 - are more difficult to decipher. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Accompaniment changes |

In A (→GE1), cautionary flats are entered before the octave g flat2-g flat3. In FE (→EE) they were removed, and the flats added before the octave a flat2-a flat3. Such a notation coincides with our editorial assumptions. In GE2 (→GE3) flats were also added before a flat2-a flat3, yet the accidental before g flat2-g flat3 were not removed. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Cautionary accidentals |

We simplify the notation of the 1st note of the bar preserving all the elements that are significant for its meaning. The adopted solution was many times employed by Chopin in similar situations, e.g. in bars 36 and 98. The erasure visible in A makes us guess that the notation of the manuscript resulted from the correction of the version with the minim f1 in the lower voice. category imprint: Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations issues: Corrections in A |
