..

The natural before the 5th quaver in the L.H. in bar 230 (c1) was added only in GE2. The natural before the 1st quaver in bar 231 (d1) is absent in FE; it was added in EE. The sign is also in GC, in which it is added by Chopin's hand (in bar 43), and in GE, which is based on it.

In GC and FE1 (→FE2→FE3) there is no  before the top most note of the 3rd crotchet in the R.H. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE, EE and FE4. In all sources a  was unnecessarily repeated before g1 in the chord in the L.H.

Long accents &  in GC (→GE)

In the main text we suggest a version based on additions introduced most probably by Chopin in the base text to EE1. We adopt the placement and type of the used accents, which in EE could have been recreated inaccurately, from the undoubtedly authentic notation of the previous version of GC (→GE).

 in EE is probably a result of Chopin proofreading of the base text to this edition. However, according to us, the version of the remaining sources can be considered to be equal.
