..

We openly give the fingering added by Chopin in FES in bar 77 in the main text, as its universal character does not raise any doubts. Identical fingering was added by Fontana in EE, additionally complemented in bar 78.

No pedalling in CLI

  in GE & EE3 (→EE4)
..

In the main text we give the  sign visible in FE (→GE,EE) in bar 77. However, we do not include the  sign in bar 79, most probably added by revisers of GE and EE3 (→EE4). Leaving the end of a piece without the pedal release mark is quite often in Chopin's pieces and can offer some performance suggestions, cf., e.g., Etudes No. 7-9 or Nocturnes, Op. 27.

Pause in CLI

Pauses in GE1 (→GE2) & GE4 (→GE5)

No signs in EE2 (→EE3)

Pause in GE3 & EE4
..

Apart from EE2 (→EE3), in which the fermata mark was undoubtedly overlooked, the notation of the remaining sources has the same meaning, yet in the case of FE, GE3 and EE4 the notation is certainly imprecise.
