The tie sustaining c sharp is only present in GC (→GE). In the editors' opinion, both versions can be treated as equal. category imprint: Differences between sources |

For our main text we adopt the version appearing in both EE and GC (sustained c sharp2, one accent). Lack of a tie sustaining c sharp2 in FE could be easily considered an omission were it not for an additional accent at the beginning of bar 75, which in a sense confirms the need to repeat the note. Despite all that, we consider errors and misunderstandings to be the most probable source of the version of FE; that view finds confirmation when we make a comparison with analogous bars 416-417, in which FE stays in compliance with the remaining sources. The version of GE results from a routine moving of the accent to the note head side. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in GE , Placement of markings |

In bars 75, 78-79, 81-87 and 89 in GC minims in the R.H. have no augmenting dots. That inaccuracy of notation can sometimes be found in Chopin's writing, yet in this instance it is definitely the copyist's error. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Errors of GC |

Available sources fail to provide the answer to the question whether the absence of a tie for f sharp in GC (→GE) was intended or accidental. Each of the versions seems fine from the musical point of view, also when we analyze that fragment in the context of its repetition 8 bars further on in the text: both the close analogy (f sharp in bar 81 and c sharp1 in bar 89 repeated) and the repetition with a slight modification (f sharp held in bar 81, c sharp1 repeated in bar 89) produce a natural effect. category imprint: Differences between sources |

In FE, the L.H. two-note chords in bars 81-82 and 89-90 are not divided into two separate voices. Similarly in bars 423-424 and 431-432. category imprint: Differences between sources |
