In the main text we give the most accurate indications of A. They were overlooked in GE1, probably due to a faulty layout – the Tutti indication, placed between the staves, impeded fitting the remaining ones. While proofreading FE (→EE), Chopin added  at the beginning of the bar, which is to be considered to be rather an ad hoc supplement of the incomplete notation of GE1. According to us, the indication is valid only from the piano reduction of the orchestral part – FE did not observe the differences in the size of the indications between the solo and orchestral parts, whereas dynamic sings would often be placed clearly before the notes they applied to. The version of GE2 is an arbitrary interpretation of the notation of A.
