The cautionary flat before d2 was added in GE (→FE→EE). In a similar context, Chopin would frequently write signs specifying the pitch of a note, compliant with the key, after previously raising it an octave lower. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that the addition comes from the composer. The flat before the d minim in the L.H. was added by us. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Cautionary accidentals , Authentic corrections of GE |

The addition introduced in EE, most probably due to e in the L.H., is, however, certainly erroneous: raising the bottom note in a roulade, independently from the chord being its harmonic background, is rather a rule than an exception. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in EE |

The harmonically vague and sonically awkward version of A (→GE1→FE) raised doubts already in EE and GE2, in which the penultimate quaver was changed – by analogy to bar 218 – to c1 (EE) or d1 (GE2). However, it is uncertain whether Chopin meant a strict analogy here, since he did not preserve such an analogy in the part of the R.H. This supposition is confirmed by a correction introduced in FED and this is the version, performed during lessons with Chopin, that we give in the main text. According to us, there is also another possible interpretation of the notation of A, assuming the occurrence of the most frequent Chopin mistakes – an oversight of cancellation of an accidental placed earlier. It leads to the last of the given versions, in which the last two quavers are c1-d1. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FED , Omissions to cancel alteration , GE revisions , Errors of A , Accidental below/above the note |

In the main text we add a cautionary before f1. We also include the cautionary before the last b1 in the R.H., added already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals |

Chopin precisely added accidentals in this bar, together with cautionary naturals before a1 (twice – in the R.H. in the marked place and in the L.H. at the end of the bar) and g2. The first of them seems to be superfluous in this place and it was removed already in GE2. In the main text we add a before a2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals |
