The difference in the notation of the crescendo hint in FEcor and FE (→GE,EE) is puzzling. According to us, Chopin's entry in FEcor was not performed by the engraver (it was totally omitted or – more likely – only partially considered, without the dashes limiting its range), so in the next proofreading Chopin wrote the indication again, this time divided into syllables (cf. bar 42). The interpretation of the entry in Ap is also not entirely clear. We assume that it was about leading it until  in bar 47.

In CLI there are no naturals returning a1 and d2 in bar 45 and a2 and d3 in bar 46. These patent errors were corrected by Chopin in FEcor. The accidentals – apart from the first one – were overlooked in EE2.

In FEcor (→FEGE,EE) Chopin added cautionary naturals before the last notes in these bars. According to us, in the adopted graphic layout, the natural in bar 45 is unnecessary. The manuscripts do not include these accidentals.

Chopin shortened the rhythmic value of the first octave in FEcor. The staccato dot, with which the crotchet in Ap is provided, significantly corrects the difference in regard to the published version.
