It is not clear what Chopin wanted to underline with the mark: a sudden change of the chord at the beginning of the bar or the signal chord motif after the rest. The first possibility is suggested by the composer's entry in FEG (which was, after all, not included in GE) and the notation of EE, while the second one – by the notation of FE. It must be emphasised that even the fact of writing this mark under the rests, as it is in FE, does not exclude its validity from the beginning of the bar (possible examples of using such a manner – the Etude in C major, Op. 10 No. 1, bar 45 or in G, Op. 10 No. 5, bars 34-35). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in GE , Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE , Centrally placed marks , Authentic corrections of EE |

There are no accidentals before the 2nd chord of the bar in FE0 (→FEG). This patent inaccuracy was corrected in FE1 (partially, as only a before b2 was added) and in GE1 and EE (both necessary naturals). In GE2 (→GE3) the third before e2 was added. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , Omission of current key accidentals , Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE , Authentic corrections of EE |

Chopin added the indication leggiero in FEG (→GE) and in the base text to EE, whereas – in the base text to FE and EE. As each of these indications was written by Chopin in two base texts and in one of them – EE – he wrote both, in the main text we give both indications. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE , Authentic corrections of EE |

The wedge written by Chopin in FEG was not included in GE, which is most probably a result of the engraver's inattention. As it is also absent in FE and EE, we leave the inclusion of this indication at the discretion of the performer. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in GE , Authentic corrections of GE |

In FE1 the crescendo indication was placed – most probably after the proofreading entry of Chopin – already in bar 238. In the main text we adopt the version of FEG (→GE) and EE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE , Authentic corrections of EE |
