In JC and PE, the entire 1st chord of the bar is written as a quaver (on one stem). The comparison of the notation with the one of analogous bars 26 and 28 leads to an argument confirming the correctness of the double-voice notation of EF, which we give in the main text.

Five  signs in those bars are present only in PE. We recreate them in the main text, yet we slightly change their position, as without any doubt, their range must remain in a legible relation to the ascending demisemiquaver motifs.

The sign of accent, visible only in PE, is reversed to the left. Therefore, its way of interpretation is not entirely clear. In the main text we propose an interpretation assuming an error of the sign's reversal.

PE, interpretation

..

In the previous sources, a similar version to the version of analogous bar 11 (JC) or the same one (EF) is written out. In the main text we give the clearly different version of PE, repeated from bar 11 (bar 38 is the first one out of the ones marked as Dal Segno).

In JC, it is the deletion of the note on the 3rd beat of the bar that draws our attention, made in a way known from Chopin's corrections in pupils' copies.
