The notation of GE, although perfectly correct, does not render Chopin’s intentions in this fragment, according to the editors. It is reflected by the notation in three analogous bars, bars 40, 44 and 48, in which both notes of the octave in the middle of the bar are connected with one stem. Moreover, the logic of leading the voices requires the stem to connect longer rhythmic values and not quavers (Cf. the remark concerning bars 8-22). Due to those circumstances, for the main text we propose a notation modelled on GE, modified on the basis of comparison with other similar fragments. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

The notation of FE and GE is certainly inaccurate, which was corrected by the reviser of EE. Similarly in bar 46. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE |

The octave separated with longer rhythmic values in the middle of bars 40, 44 and 48 is written on one stem, which follows the notation of the octaves in similar figures in bar 8 and analogous. The notation of GE, suggesting that the octave is a quaver, is most probably an attempt to recreate the following notation of [A2]: category imprint: Differences between sources |

In the main text we propose a more precise notation of the 2nd half of the bar, considering the elements of the most precise sources of notation in similar situations – FE1 in bar 8 and GE in bar 22.
