In GC (→GE) Chopin added cautionary naturals next to b2 in the R.H. and b in the L.H. Such a double addition virtually excludes the possibility of a mistake – it is about neither restoring d2 in the R.H. nor a cautionary before the L.H. g1. The composer presumably forgot that a from the key signature is no longer effective. In the main text we omit these accidentals, adding a cautionary before g1 instead. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors resulting from corrections , Authentic corrections of FE |

The ending of the Ballade has a few versions proving Chopin's hesitations. We present them below in a chronological order:
As it can be seen, Chopin had two main concepts of the Ballade's endings, "open" and "close." According to us, it is the version No. 1 that presents the first of them in the most thoughtful manner, while in the case of the latter it is the version No. 4. In the main text we give the version No. 1, enriched with variant, characteristic for Chopin grace note added in GC. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Chopin's hesitations , Errors resulting from corrections , Terzverschreibung error , Deletions in A , Authentic corrections of FE , Errors of GC , Authentic corrections in GC |
