In the main text we reproduce the range of the  hairpins in these bars after A. In FE (→EE) they were recreated with a slightly shortened mark in bar 21. GE repeats the mark of FE in bar 21, while in bar 22 the  mark was gradually elongated until occupying the entire bar.

Three cautionary naturals before the 3rd quaver in the bar are present in A, yet they were removed in a proofing of FE (→GE1,EE3). It seems to be Chopin's mistake, as after d1 and d2 at the end of the previous bar, the warning is quite justified in this place. The accidentals were added in subsequent GE,s and EE4 (in the latter only in the R.H.).

The sources differ in the combination of cautionary accidentals used in this bar. A (→FE) has a  before d1 in the 1st chord and a  before e1 on the 5th quaver in the bar. In GE the  was omitted, while in EE – the . Moreover, in GE2 (→GE3→GE4) and EE4 a  was added before a1 on the 2nd quaver. In the main text we also add a  before g2 on the 5th quaver.

dolce in A. GE & EE

dolce in FE
..

The arrangement of dolce in A suggests that it concerns the 2nd and subsequent quavers in the bar. However, in FE it was put already over the 1st quaver, which, according to us, is a result of a misunderstanding of Chopin's intention by the engraver. What is interesting is the fact that both in GE and in EE the hint was arranged after A and not FE.
