Same as in bar 33, the slur over the dots in the part of the R.H. and slur and dots in the L.H. were added – certainly by Chopin – in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

The sources lack in some necessary cautionary accidentals – the fully correct text is only in GE4 (→GE5). If we take into consideration the logic of the figuration's structure, all these situations may be considered as obvious oversights, in spite of the fact that in a few cases the harmonic relations would allow to consider the created chords as possible. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , Omissions to cancel alteration , GE revisions , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE |

In A the fingering in bar 39 is incomplete – the digits are written only next to first three semiquavers and the bottom fourth note. Next to the top note, Chopin started writing '2', yet he did not finish it. It may mean that he resigned from repeating the fingering given in the previous bar or he stopped it and forgot to finish it. The additions introduced in FE (→GE,EE) seem to suggest the second possibility, yet the first also cannot be excluded, as Chopin could have simply changed his decision. In a proofreading of FE, the finger attributed to the bottom note at the beginning of bar 40 was also changed. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

The change of the bottom note of the chord from b to a introduced in the last proofreading of FE (→EE) is undoubtedly a Chopin improvement. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

Both autographs lack some of the necessary naturals in this bar, although these which are included allow for a clear interpretation of the text:

before c is unnecessarily repeated on the 6th semiquaver in the bar (due to the brief notation of the octave, the sign concerns also the bottom C);
